Hi

When you remove the motor from an automatic transmission you are 
supposed to separate the torque convertor from the engine by removing 
the 3 13mm bolts that hold the flex plate to the torque convertor. 
After doing this the engine comes right out without disturbing 
anything on the transmission. One should then tie something over the 
face of the torque convertor to prevent it from accidently slipping 
off it's shaft. I have removed a few engines like this before and 
have never had any prolem with the TC or any of its shafts.

BTW this is the way VW discribes the job in their manuals.
