Welcome to ZDriver!

Take off the torque converter cover plate (bottom half of the transmission bell housing). Then you have direct access to the torque converter bolts.

 

ive looked for an access hole an couldnt find one but illl look again

 

Access hole???

Take off the torque converter cover plate... (I think I mentioned that already).

 

Buy Haynes manual.
Read directions.

 

sorry i skimed through it i got it now thanks

 

*facepalm* doh!

 

It's ok, just take your time. These cars are easy to work on. Just don't get in a hurry.

Do you have all the needed parts? You'll probably need the manual mounts, matching drive shaft and speed O sending unit?
