A couple quick questions. Reply #16 – August 22, 2012, 12:54:50 PM Really, I probably have about everything I need disconnected to remove the engine, and I do understand where you guys (ladies included) are coming from. My cougar is my primary source of transportation at this time, and I have a lot to do. If all goes well, I hope to be replacing the engine and transmission in about a year from now. Then I can paint the car (when the engine compartment is empty) and replace the wiring harness. Right now, I'm just getting the rest of the car ready for when I do. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be as far as I am if it wasn't for all your help, so please keep them coming! Quote Selected

Reply #17 – August 22, 2012, 02:33:41 PM Quote from: Chrome;396419If you pull the engine, you could also pull and drain the torque converter and all of your trans fluid would be fresh and new. I removed that front bellhousing plate and the torque converter had a plug I took out to completely drain it. Quote Selected

A couple quick questions. Reply #21 – August 24, 2012, 11:41:46 AM 88turbo, I tried a search and I guess I didn't type in the right words. I had no idea the transmission took so much fluid. When I took the pan off, I noticed how dirty it was. So, new fluid and filter are in order. Thanks again for your help! Quote Selected
