Well, whether you need it or not...if you keep reading. ..then you going to Automatic school 101!! Here you go, about to pull engine, got to pull oil pan first. Pulled the T/C cover. To do so you pull the little chrome cover, the easy part. Then the little cover, when it pops off..make damn sure you retrieve spring and plunger! Then to pull assembly, you gotta pull the little CAST snap ring, breaks if you look at it funny, and yes they are N/A!! Be careful Mikey! Lol.
