torque convertor replacement ......

[burnt_servo]

working on a 2001.5 dodge diesel quad cab 4x4 .

I want to replace the convertor , is there enough room to slide the tranny  back and swap out the convertor , or is t going to have to be dropped to the ground ?

 

If I do this I'm working outside under a tarp and I was hoping to just sling the tranny to the frame  and pull it backwards .

I don't think there is quite enough room to do what you want laying on your back.   You might be able to get the angle right where it can be changed, but I would just drop the trans.

Yeah already off the bat there isn't much room between the trans and the floor. But like Me said it would probably be best to just drop it out. No sense in risking the trans falling on you or getting damaged.

Yep, just drop it. Use ratchet straps to secure it to the jack. The bell housing is too big to just slip it back.
