4.0 motor swap
 
Doing a motor swap on my 1999 Cherokee sport with a 4.0 automatic. I'm basically ready to pull the motor except for the tranny lines underneath need to come off and it needs to be unbolted from the trans. My question is does anyone have a picture of the tranny bolt layout also know where I can get new bolts? Idk how many of them there are or where they are down there haha thanks.

I don't have a picture but have done this twice. The two on the top are a PITA. they are reverse torx bolts. Technically they take an E12 socket.

You shouldn't need new bolts. When I had to remove these, I did from underneath. If you go from underneath, you will need long extensions, a wobble head and a lot of patience.

Remove the top E12 bolts from bell housing first, they will be in a bind if other bolts are removed first. Unbolting cross member and lowering it some along with transmission will make access to top bolts easier.
