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.

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?
