  1. I'm not sure that I dound the one that I was looking for, but found a couple that are relevant. Basic idea is that when you install the torque converter onto the shaft (multiple sets of splines) that you have to rotate it (the tc) until you hear a certain number of clicks.

     

    Warning: You may not like what they say about damage. :(

    THanks, that information will help tons. Wish me luck as the motor is comming out soon...

  2. All_talk is almost certainly right. You don't want to pull the torque converter still bolted to the flex-plate ("flywheel") if you can avoid it, and you don't reinstall the engine that way. You will almost certainly need to pull the engine again (or at least WAY forward) in order to properly seat the torque converter onto its shafts.

     

    There was a recent thread about this that mentioned how to do this and what to listen/feel for to know that it seated on its shafts properly. If you can't find it, repost here and I will try to hunt it down... unless someone beats me to it.

     

    yeah i cannot find it, ive been searching but i find nothing...

  3. I've read something about the center splined shaft (main pump drive) pulling out enough to disengage, I dont know if the torque converter will position properly with the shaft out, but it might. Did you have the TC out of the trans?

    I pulled the engine with the tq converter connected to the flywheel, i didnt take it off the flywheel, but when we pulled it, some fluid came out of the female simput shaft slot.

  4. Ok, just swaped timing belts and headgaskets on my 86 gl10, and i want to get rid of everything to do with emissions. i want some breather filters, and i want to get rid of as many hoses as i can (most if not all of the rubber hoses are cracked). Where does everything go and what do they do? Anyone have a diagram?

     

    Also, upon removal of everything (to do headgaskets), i came across a bullit shaped part, and it looks as if a spring might fit into it?! where does it go and what does it do????

  5. ok thanks for all the great help, its apreciated. I am gettting the car for 50 dollars and i guess it just needs a hg. its got like 130,000 on it, and everything else is good, turbo spools well, im fixing it to sell to a friend. so any ideas of a price? i have no idea of what these cars are worth...

  6. I think im only going to replace the head gaskets (maybe the belts too depending on the current shape). It doesnt need arp's, maybe new bolts but definatly not arps. i run arps in my turbo eclipse, and lets just say it can handle 45 lbs of boost. the car just needs to last through the winter though. i dont have the car yet, so i dont know about it yet. i dont have any experiance with flat fours so wish me luck.

     

    btw, running well how much can i sell an 86 gl10 for? just ballpark.

     

    Also, do i replace tensioners when doing tbelts? anything else?

     

    Is the motor hard to pull out? any tips?
