You can get it out without removing the Y pipe but it's a LOT easier if you do.
Guess I'll be removing the y pipe!
I have it backed into the garage now. I will start doing the beginning of the disassembly tonight or tomorrow night.
My goal is to drive it up on ramps and jack up the rear end and put it on jack stands. Hopefully that gives me enough clearance.
To start I'll take my time and drop the pan and drain the fluid, then I'll remove the lines and remove the shifter linkage. I'll try to work my way through it. I won't order any part until I get in there and see what's leaking.
I am having doubts that it is the torque converter because the trans drives and shift pretty well. It's only when it gets to temp and runs for a while that it starts puking fluid. I am thinking it is the front seal.
Wish me luck! Any tips are welcomed!
