Removing Transmission E250 help

Hey guys,

I'm removing the transmission on my 98 E250 4.2L to replace the torque converter. I've realized that I need to remove the cross member first and have started the process. Does anyone have any hints or tricks making this easier. This weekend I am really going to dive into it so any help would be appreciated. Also, is there any literature on this or videos?? I've searched but could not find any help.

thanks

Yes, there is a better front seal than the stock one. It is made from Viton. I do not have part numbers. You should be able to get one anywhere that sells transmission parts, except maybe a dealer. They would just have the stock parts.

You also want to replace the torque converter hub bushing.

Both parts should run you about $20.
