That depends on the type of vehical, front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. Rear wheel drive vehical: Removing the transmission is the best way to go. there is less to un-hook from the trans then the motor. Also during reassembly the torque converter has to be placed on the trans and turned twice, you will feel it click into place (go on further) it must be seated before reassembly. Front wheel drive: Sorry i have no experience with front wheel drive.

What to use to pull apart a motor from a transmission on a 1985 Chevy silverado with a 5.0l engine?

After removing the inspection cover on the under side of the transmission, you will see the torque converter. Remove the three bolts from the converter to flex plate. You will have to rotate the engine to gain access to all the bolts. If you can not rotate engine, you may pull the converter with the engine, it will slide out of the transmission, but you will have to pull engine more forward upon removal. There are six bolts that hold the transmission to the engine that will need to be removed. After removing these bolts the engine should be ready to be removed from transmission. There are two alignment pins on the back of the engine about 3/4" long. Once you have the engine lifted a bit to take the weight, rock it back and forth a bit to free it from the transmission, engine should slip free of the transmission.

What is A torque converter?

a major part of an automatic transmission... A torque converter is what couples the engine to the transmission. It acts a little bit like a clutch and allow the engine to drive the transmission. At slow engine speeds, like at idle, it slips so the engine will not stall while the transmission is in gear. As engine speed (RPM) increases it allows the engine to drive the transmission. This is just the basic idea of what a torque converter does.

How do you replace torque converter clutch?

An automatic transmission uses a torque converter to pass energy from the engine into the transmission. A torque converter is essentially a tub of fluid secured to the engine's flywheel that acts like an adjustable vise when spinning. The converter pushes fluid through tiny compartments inside its tub to create pressure. When the pressure is high enough, the converter passes the spinning energy from the engine into the transmission. You should replace a torque converter that is broken or one that cannot handle the power of an engine. Matching the right torque converter to an engine adds to the life of the transmission and allows the engine to operate at a higher level of performance.
