I have removedall thetransmission mounts fom the motor and i cant get the trasmisson to drop...could thi be because the torque converter is bolted to the fly wheel?

What kind of vehicle...most front wheel drives yes..you'll have to undo everything that's connected to the motor then take out all bolts to the transmission. Then the torque converter bolts to fly wheel.and exhaust all motor mounts all wires fuel lines
Remove the hood and pop it out.just remember to keep track of everything you remove I make a video of everything I do .this way I know where it goes.

borrow a puller and a impact driver and a compressor and some impact tools and sockets and replace the seal while yur down there eating road grime! Arrr!

Hi, if you have the 3.0 liter engine, see instructions below. If you have the 4.6 liter, the starter is under the intake manifold.

Removal & Installation

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable Starter electrical connectors Right hand catalytic converter Right side engine mount nuts Intake air resonator to the throttle body ducts
   
3. Install an Engine Support Fixture to the right side of the engine.
4. Raise the right side of the engine approximately 1.5 inches (38mm) to gain access to the starter motor bolts.
5. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Engine mount from the bracket and cradle Engine mount bracket bolts and reposition the bracket Starter motor
6. 
   
7. 
   
   
   

   Fig. Remove the starter motor and bolts
   
   

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   Starter motor. Torque the bolts to 44 ft. lbs. (60 Nm). Engine mount to the bracket and front crossmember. Torque the bolts to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm).
   
2. Lower the engine into position and make certain that the mount locator tab is fully seated in the front crossmember slot.
3. Remove the special tools from the engine.
4. Install or connect the following:
   
   Engine mount nuts. Torque the upper nut to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) and the lower nut to 41 ft. lbs. (55 Nm). Intake air resonator to the throttle body ducts Catalytic converter. Torque the bolt to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm) and the nuts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm). Starter electrical connectors. Torque the battery cable nut to 115 inch lbs. (13 Nm) and the starter solenoid nut to 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm). Negative battery cable

You have to jack the engine up after removing the motor mount bolts on each side. Then once you have the engine jacked up a few inches, slide a piece of wood (2x4) in between the upper and lower parts of the motor mounts on each side. This will keep the engine elevated enough for you to drop the oil pan and replace the gasket. Then, just put all the bolts back in in the proper torque sequence, torque them all to spec,remove the wooden blocks from the motor mounts, slowly lower the engine back down and put the motor mount bolts back in.

Sounds like you need a new transmission. It can only be one of two things: Transmission is old and needs replaced or the torque converter is bad. But if your going to replace the torque converter you might as well make sure you have a good transmission because you have to drop the transmission to get to the torque converter. No point in droping the transmission and replacing the torque converter to find out you need to drop it again because the transmission is bad. You should be able to drop the transmission is a few hours. You only have 3 bolts on the fly wheel and one bolt for the transmission mount and about 6 bolts connected to the engine. Then you have your fluid lines speedometer cable and drive shaft. And your dip stick.

Removal & Installation - Starter

1. Before servicing the vehicle.
   
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   Negative battery cable Radiator air baffle assembly
   Electrical connections Torque converter cover Starter
   

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   Starter. Torque the bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm). Torque converter cover Solenoid -BAT- terminal. Torque the nut to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm). Solenoid -S- terminal. Torque the nut to 27 inch lbs. (3 Nm). Radiator air baffle assembly Negative battery cable

1. Before servicing the vehicle.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   Negative battery cable Radiator air baffle, for clearance if necessary Flywheel inspection cover bolts Flywheel inspection cover Electrical connections from the starter motor Starter motor mounting bolts Starter motor
   

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   NOTE Before installing the starter motor to the engine, tighten the nut next to the cap on the solenoid BAT terminal. If this terminal is not tight in the solenoid cap, the cap may be damaged during installation of electrical connections and cause the starter motor to fail later.
   
   Starter motor Starter motor mounting bolts and tighten the bolts to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) Electrical connection to the battery terminal on the solenoid and tighten the battery terminal nut to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm) Electrical connections to the S terminal on the solenoid and tighten solenoid S terminal nut to 27 inch lbs. (3 Nm) Flywheel inspection cover Flywheel inspection cover bolts Radiator air baffle, if removed
2. Connect the negative battery cable

Hope helps, remember rated this.

TCC stands for "TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH" this is part of the torque converter of thetransmission and is controlled by an electric solenoid inside the transmission pan attached to the trans valve body.

is it front wheel or rear? if front you have to take down the motor and trans together by unbolting the 4-6 very large bolts and drop the entire front assembly.
if rear drive disconnect the drive shaft and unbolt the crossmember get a trans jack or one with wheels that work and unbolt trans from motor.
remember to SPIN the torque con when reinstalling.

pull the botom of the oil pan and spacer and then u can pull the torke converter bolts
