WOW UR LOSN, you were not kidding about those bolts on the connecting bracket!! I couldn't find the second one for a long time and thought there was only one. I was so frustrated that the tranny and motor wouldn't split form one another. Then my buddy found it, and it took us almost 30 minutes to get it out. Like magic the two were able to split. I can't believe that one bolt holds the tranny and motor so close together. Also a good tip is to take the hood off, I barely got my motor out with the hood on. Anyways the only problem I had besides that bolt was I snapped off all the flex-plate bolts when pulling it apart, since I was man handling it, but that doesn't matter since I got a whole other set on the new motor. I actually lucked out because the motor was seized but the flywheel spun really easy even though the crank wouldn't. I guess the crank snapped? lol...BTW I noticed that the torque convertor was painted blue. Is that a stock color or do you think the previous owner had a rebuild to the tranny and/or stall? Thanks again for the help LOSN.
