How to Safely Detach a Torque Converter from a Transmission on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Before taking the torque converter out, pull the transmission and torque converter away from the car. Make sure a drain pan is under the transmission where its converter housing connects. Keep the motor securely locked during lifting or position it safely on the work area, because removing the torque converter will move its center of gravity and can cause it to become less stable. The weight of the torque converter means you should be careful when separating it. Slide the torque converter ahead until the center hub passes by the seal on the oil pump and after that disconnect the torque converter from the transmission.
