On the torque converter be very careful to scribe the two halves before disassembly if not already done. You must also scribe the direct drive clutch metal plate and piston. Nothing on the turbines needs scribed as the secondary turbine only reattaches in one orientation.

Though often the pistons are balanced, you won't know until you remove it. Scribing it also helps you place it back on NOT on the bosses, which will destroy it.

Do not remove the reactor shaft or sprags if that assembly is working properly. It should easily spin one way but not spin the other way.

Ross (speedwell garage) has a good series on converter disassembly on YT.
