I'm finally going to install the TC that's been in the garage since last summer. I've not dealt with the drivetrain on my Z yet and have a few questions.
1. Is the Torque arm under pressure? When I unbolt it from the tranny will it try to hurt me?
2. Is it easier to unhook the fliud lines from the tranny if you drop the tranny a little first?
3. How do you get to the top bolt that holds the tranny to the block? Should I tilt the tranny down some first ?
4. Should I leave this seemingly simple job to a professional? (the simplest jobs usually take me days to complete!!!)

1. No it isnt under pressure
2. Yes, drop it down a little first, be careful not to crimp them
3. a really long extension. after the torque arm and all the crossmembers and driveshaft are out, it will tilt back enough to get to it
4. Do it yourself, it's not that bad. Hardest psrt is getting it back up into positon. I have done it myself a couple times, so its not impossible.

 

I second what roadrage said. And I have done it 4 times now. You can do it....just take your time and dont rush it. Call me if you have any questions....616-299-4335.
