Swapping Engines

[blue_hauder]

OK, I bought a used KA24E for my 90 240sx out of the same year from a guy doing the CA18DET swap. The only difference is that the one I just bought is out of an auto. I know I need to switch the flywheel from my original engine. I just got done taking the old engine out with the transmission attached so this job will be a lot easier. The problem is how would I go about taking the torque converter off. I didn't see any bolts and I noticed that there are a lot of welds on the torque converter. I don't know if it is suppose to be like this or what.

Another thing that I noticed is that my clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. Is this a problem maybe from my car sitting so long (15 months). Any help is appreciated. Oh and for the smart asses who say search, I just spent an hour doing so.

the convertor just slides off once you separate the bellhousing from the block.When re-installing it, make sure it clicks 3 times as it slides in while you rotate clockwise. when in fully, it will sit .5-.75" behind the edge of the bellhousing.

nah..he wants to take it out to put his flywheel and clutch in...he's got a manual.

just disconnect the bellhousing.then there are 3 bolts holding the convertor to the flywheel.

where are the bolts at, are they between the torque converter and the flywheel? Would I need a really skinny end wrench to get them? I appreciate the help, too bad I am graduating today, I really want to get this done.
