cquisuila Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) solved problem !!! it was well the bolts i put 3 new bolts with red loctite and the transmission is good now when i turned the converter i didn't hear noise as the rest of the bolt but the oil in the converter i think that the broken bolts were in the pan and when i retried the pan( I have already removed it several times) they fell on the stony ground question : how the broken bolts can be in the converter because they unscrew towards the crankshaft ?🤥 Edited June 7, 2022 by cquisuila (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get two 7/16th. bolts, course thread, about 4-5" long. Remove two side lower bolts from the trans. & install the bolts. Leave the heads on the bolts so the trans. will not slide past the heads. Dis-connect the trans. mount bolts & remove. The trans. linkage mounting will now also be loose. Remove the rod shift lever from the side of the trans. Put a jack under the trans. pan with a 10"x10"x1/2" piece of plywood & jack up the trans. to get it off the mount. Remove the 2 center support support bolts & the bolts from the rear of the driveshaft & just let it hang there. Don't forget to mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the rear pinion. Now remove the other 4 bolts. No need to dis-connect trans. lines as they will move back with the trans. You may have to loosen the dipstick tube & remove the bolt, BUT IF I remember correctly one of the bolts holding the trans. to the engine holds it in place. Get two big screwdrivers or pry bars & move the trans. back. When it is far enough back use a 2 pieces of 2x4 to put between the trans. & the block. Now you can remove the flexplate. Pay attention to the guide hole between the crank & the flexplate for engine balance. Tom T. i found the last 2 bolts !!!😅 so it is good now !! it was HERE : Edited July 25, 2022 by cquisuila (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
