Yank the jack out from under the board and slide the board with the trans. out from under the car. Maybe you already figured that out.

Like a magician yanking a table cloth off a set table, LOL. Just kidding. It will be easy because you have gravity on your side. When you go to put it back in, that will be a different story...

The scrape around the body bother me. I'm not too familiar with the inner wokings so I can't give you any pointers. The big question is that is there oil above the vent? Also it's a little too late, but do you remember if the converter spun freely after you unbolted it from the flex plate. And when you plug it back in can you get it to touch the pump bolts spinning it squarely?

It spun freely...i had to pry it off the splines with a screwdriver to get it off the trans though..

I see metal transfer on that converter, was there any metal in fluid ? Like aluminum bearing looking material?
