Its wierd man...Me you and Tougeagle are geographicaly pretty close and somehow we all ended up with nearly identical 1983 eagles. Once I get ginger on the road it would be awsome if all three of us roll up to the Rambler Ranch in matching Eagles.

I just got my torque converter off and Im curious now as to what kind it is...Im guessing it would be the same as yours id post some pics but i just broke my  :censored: memory card on my camera. this is the only one I have on my computer...really cant tell much from it...

is that your flywheel under the torque converter or does it have the gear welded to it? oh and how long did it take you to pull you transmission. i just pulled survivors today and had it out in about five and a half hours and that includes jacking her up and putting jackstands under her and removing everything to get the transmission out.

Flexplate goes between t/c and block, and has the starter ring gear on it. It's best to install the new t/c on the transmission, then bolt the t/c to the flexplate after the engine and trans have been mated. You bolt the t/c back up through the starter hole and by hand turning the engine. Otherwise, you risk cracking the t/c shaft.

No worries man. And, I like shanebo's idea. We DO need to get a Rambler Ranch trip set up for this summer, and get a group going. I had no idea until early this year that place is located here in the state. Caroline needs to socialize, she's all lonely up here...

that would be cool to do i just need to get survivor fixed up before i try anything like that though (i need to do that with eagle eyes to). oh and eagle eyes and survivor need to socialize to as the only eagles they get to hang out with are each other.

My torque converter was bolted right to the fly wheel. 5 bolts I believe... There was nothing between the t/converter and the  flywheel either, it was bolted directly against it.

Between the transfercase pull and and disconnecting  the exhaust and dropping the fluid lines and all that jazz Id say it probably took about 6 to 8 hours from the time I jacked the car up and the time the tranny left the car.

So was that how your t/converter was hooked up or was yours different...Im really curious.

they were bolted up the same way as yours on both of my eagles. oh and it's four bolts not five unless someone changed the flexplate and torque converter on ginger but i have never seen one that had five before.

Ya know..mine doesnt have one identifying mark anywhere on it like yours does. It does however look exactly like yours. That writing almost looks it may have been a salvage/used part maybe....Everytime Ive bought used parts that were pre-pulled and inventoried had writing on them like that...just a guess though
