Wow, so swapping the torque converter is a major pain in the ass, huh? Goddamn, I did it on Friday (with a lot of help) and I'm still friggin' sore.....it will NEVER be upgraded again!

well, that's part of the pain: having the car on jackstands and laying underneath it for hours removing and reinstalling the damn tranny.

Hey, it was my first time.....and my fucking last. Plus, the head broke off of the first bolt we put in through the fly wheel, plus a fusible link on my starter had worn bare and arced on the crossover pipe causing a lot of smoke and concern that my solenoid would now be fried......etc ., etc., What a long, shitty day.

Get over it you bitch. I R&R'd my tranny 3 times last year. It only gets easier next time. I know where you're sore too, your neck and shoulders are all fucked up from holding that bitch up, huh? And hey, I use factory torque converter bolts, no longer available from Buick, but the same as a Monte Carlo SS, graded metric bolts with thread locker on it factory. $2 each, or if you're like me, free because you were doing a girl in the parts department.

The 9.8 bolt snapped under 60 lbs. of torque....what a bunch of shit....


...lucky you- the rest of us are getting screwed BY the parts department.
