I need to replace my TC, as the car I just bought has a 17125 code, which means its kaput.

I will be doing the removal at my shop, so I am trying to see if I can save some time.

Here is my question. Has anyone been able to remove the trans without removing the engine as well? It may be more trouble than it's worth trying to do so, and I always try to beat the book, but it can bite you in the ass sometimes..

Also, as I wrote in my other post, Should I get an upgraded, stronger converter and valve body from IPT or Level 10?

Thank-you.

Rick
