    Dont forget the one on the rear side of the engine that you have to get at with like a three foot extension.

    you dont have to get to that one with an extension if you take the rear head off...

    otherwise you have to go through the passenger side wheel well with like three feet of extension to get at it. i put mine back in hand tight so i can just reach back and take it out with a ratchet. or maybe by now it rattled its way out and i dont care to find it or put it back because of it being the "***** bolt".

    The bolt everyone misses is between the portion of the trans the wraps around the back of the motor and the actual motor. The best way is with a ton of extensions out to the pass side of the car. put the extensions right about even with the oil neck and go from there
