    It seemed simple for the most part besides the drivers side due to the placement of coolant pipe of vc. however anything about this engine at first glance is everything but simple until you start taking it apart. Do you still own the car ?

    Great. Do you have any experiences with the infamous transmition? My torque converter code has come up and the engine light stays on for a while and turns off by itself and stay off for a while just to come back on again and repeat cycle. There is no slippage or signs of malfunctions by the transmition. I continue to drive but not sure if it hurts or not.

    Actually I bought my car with malfunctioning transmission and I had it rebuild right away. There was problem with shifting but I didn't inspect it any further, just had it rebuild.
