thanks in advance to you guys- you are being a great help to me.

Got my engine out see conversions trike to ea81. and someone had advised me that fluid to the converter is fed from the auto transmission.

While I'm waiting for my adapter I've dropped the auto sump and cleaned the filter. am changing the rear diff to converter seal also. changing the fluid too. was wondering how do I drain the torque converter fluid? there is no drain plug. is a change of fluid necessary in the converter? and can I fit 2 seals in the diff housing converter side. Two seals are advised to be used from trans to diff housing.
Finally how much trouble is it to split the trans from the diff to renew the seals between them and is it worth the effort? eg if it aint broke?

as per above you can also fill with kero or petrol to flush but drain as per above suction or gravity
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
