The torque converter bolts onto the rear of the engine via a flexi plate that has the ring gear for the starter motor.

You should be able to draw the engine forward so that the torque converter slides off the gearbox input shaft, without having to first remove the torque converter.

On reassembly you have to make sure that the torque converter slides onto - and seats properly - on the transmission input shaft.

If you have the equipment - and a bit of help - it's often easier to remove the engine and transmission as one complete unit. Then split the engine from the transmission when removed.

This may sound to be 'extra work' but if you have the equipment and help, it can save a lot of time and bother.

The torque converter is connected to the flex plate by 4 or 5 bolts. There is an access plate or hole at the bottom of the bellhousing. So yes, you will need to rotate the engine by hand to access these bolts one at a time to remove them. Remove all the plugs from the engine put a half inch ratchet on the bolt on the front of the crankshaft and rotate the crank to position the bolts on the torque converter.

I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 5.9 4x4 will a torque convertor from a 1996 work in my 98

Depends on the engine - transmission combo. The tranny has a housing the torque convertor sits in and is mounted to the engine.

do you have an st, ws, Laramie or sport? 2 wheel or 4 wheel, 6 or 8 cyl engine?

according to amazon and advance auto the replacement torque convertor is the same for 96 and 98 v8's both 5.2 and 5.2 engines so I would say yes. The drive trains are similar and a junk yard can verify via the vin #'s too.

How to remove the engine from the torque convertor on a Ford 345C Skip Loader?

When removing an engine from any automatic box the best tip is to remove the bolts holding the torque converter to the flex plate/flywheel and leave the torque converter in position on the shaft in the front of the box. It will move back to the box enough to separate the engine . Turn the engine around to get to each bolt. If the transmission is going to be unsupported then restrain the torque converter with a plate bolted through a flange hole or a strap across the front a note here is that what you call a skip loader may be known as a skid steer loader in which case there will be no torque converter as it hooks directly to a hydraulic pump via a splined shaft.
