    trany swap help please!

    ok i got everything on my auto trany off. all the fluid lines drive shaft and bolts around the bell housing are off. I have just been following the bently guide(autozone equivalint). the only thing that it says to do, that i have not done is unbolt 3 bolts on the torque converter, but when i looked in the little window in the bell housing there is no way to get a standard wrench on that bolt. at least no way i can see. so guys, can you help me out what is the secret? :?

    push flywheel to acces the 3 bolts. Also make sure the flywheel cover which goes in between the tranny and the motor is taken off. IF not look @ this thread.

      there is still not enought clearance for a wrench. i have that little plastic cover off the bell housing. there is stioll not enough room for the wrench to fit on the bolt. i don't think that it will make a differance but maybe if i jacked the tranny up then that might give me a little bit more room but that should not change anything with in the little access window.

        You're thinking of the Wrong part, Bolted on the Engine itself is a Large cover that covers up the rear of the Flywheel, the 3 lower Tranny bolts go into it, remove it then you can get to the 3 bolts from the Front side of the car.
        Remove the transmission bump stop and the reinforcement plate at the bottom of the bellhousing by removing couple of Torx/Hex bolts




        Working through the opening in the bellhousing, remove the (3)bolts that hold the torque converter to the drive plate
