ok...so ive got the flywheel off but now the damn exhaust is in the way of the tranny to drop...i just found out that theres 3 bolts on my starter.....soooo gay, anyway, so now ive gotta take the starter out to get the exhaust off and then i think i can FINALLY get the tranny unbolted...GOOD LORD, im gonna have to write a letter to Ford and tell them to rethink their engineering skills...anyway, if anyone have any advice or better ways to get around some of this stuff, please let me know...thanks

What year/tranny do you have?

I guess if you've got 3 bolts on the starter you've got a 3650.

When we did my trans in my 97 4v we had to torch ALL the bolts that connected the h pipe, and we ended up breaking a couple swivel sockets on the way.

Why are you putting in a torque converter in your mustang??? I guess it's auto???

Wow, good luck bra

well, im assuming there are 3 bolts on it cause i took out 2 and it still wont come loose...some of the bolts for the exhaust came off without removing the starter, but theres 1 that the swivel socket cant get to without removing the starter and the starter is a bitch...i have whatever tranny comes stock in the 2001 gt's...i think its a 4R70W or something like that, i know its AODE

geez man. your attacking a aod on jack stands (i'm assuming.)

That's a B.I.T.C.H!!!

I'd never attempt that, ESPECIALLY with an auto.

****, your nuts. GL with the install though.

yes there are 3 bolts, and the top one is a BITCH. have patience, plenty of extensions, and about a 12 packs. I'd reccommend wearing some gloves too

where is the damn top one at...i cant find it and how do i get to it?
