When I had the tranny rebuilt in the SLC, I paid the shop to R&R it - and it was GOOD choice. They fought the torque converter for half a day to get it off the engine - the center protrusion (the right word escapes me now) was corroded in the end of the crankshaft. They did have the advantage of having the car up on a lift and used long pry bars.
