I could be wrong but I don't think you should have to remove the section bolted to the flywheel. Just the flange on the torque converter shaft should suffice.Have never needed to on a D4 at least, which I think is all but the same in that area. It is a tight fit and sometimes you need to mess a bit with the angle that the trans is hanging at.
I recently had a D4 trans and converter in and out a few times getting the shimming right for correct pinion to bevel gear tooth contact.
There are three different style couplings for the 941, One includes a center bolt.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
mine just has the 6 bolts around it, no center bolt. i tried every angle i could to get it out but cant get it lowered down without hanging on the front flange or the pinion clearing the hole it slides into.
Hi, wlf8.
I have never had to remove that flange but I have had to replace the rubber couplings a couple of times. They always had two bolts in them, one from each side, and both had to come out before you could get the rubber coupling out.
Been a LONG time since I had to do it - 2008 or so - but that is my recollection.
Just my 0.02.
How much clearance do you need? Has the engine shifted on its mounts?

Are you trying to drop the trans or lift it out? You need the machine on blocks to take it out the bottom.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
