I use the Blue Locktight...everthing else ^^^^ ...also, I'd jack up from the back (with jack stands) so no tranny fluid leaks out!

I've been buying parts for nearly 50 years. I still get excited over a new box of parts. Still car crazy after all these years

I'm actually about to install one my self. All that's involved is 4 12mm bolts right? You don't have to do anything else?

I always seem to bust a knuckle or smash a finger/thumb on my first bolt under there. Don't ask me why or how, but it always seems to happen.

????? i think you meant you put thread locker on, antiseize keeps it from seizing lol not keeps it tight
