Now, I'm not saying this is the right way to do it, but it works as long as you're careful!
And sorry I forgot to mention the torque converter. Yes, I 100% recommend replacing the torque converter. It is made of woven carbon and tends to hold a lot of "nasties" and isn't rebuildable, so often if you re-use one, it'll dump crud and clog up the channel plate filter and cause it to burn up pretty quick. Not worth trying to save money on it.
