So after a spirited mountain drive it looks like my torque converter is toast. It won't unlock and the car now shifts into drive with a big jolt.

I had a shop do a power flush on the trans but that hasn't improved it. The only transmission specialist in my area doesn't want to touch my FBO and tuned 370z with a 10 foot pole.

I'm seriously considering dropping the transmission myself and sending the TC away to be rebuilt. I can see plenty of videos of people dropping the MT, and it doesn't look hard.

Has anyone else dropped the auto themselves? Can you advise on any gotchas I might run into? I plan to use high jack stands and a transmission jack.
