In order to separate the engine from the transmission you need to remove starter and turn the crank with a wrench and removed bolts that hold the torque converter to the flexplate aka flywheel.After that they should separate no problem.If you have them separated already the torque converter should slide right out its not bolted to anything on the transmission side jsut be careful alot of fluid will come out and make a big mess.
