    Auto Torque Converter Bolts

    Does anyone know if the bolts in the torque converter are reverse threaded? I cannot break them at all! Pb blaster has been soaking in but still no luck. Maybe they're reverse threaded? By auto in the title I meant that it was an automatic transmission.
    West German BMWs, they just don't make the same as they did before the wall fell.
    ^Case in point: Auto-Repair Technology. Everytime my car isn't starting or acting up I let it sit, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for days. But it eventually fixes itself.

    Those bolts aren't reverse threaded. But they do have a thread sealant, so it will take a good bit of force to break them loose. I haven't had any problem getting them out when I use a 24" breaker bar.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Yeah was just about to come and update. Got them broken finally. I was just worried about breaking them off completely. I already broke a rusty bolt off when I put new sway bar brackets on. That was a $200 mistake...

      Thanks for the help anyway!
