Default Torque converter

I have a lose bolt on my torque converter and was wondering if any of you know any tips or tricks about getting it done? I've been under the hood for a few years but I've never been in the tranny before.

There should be a dust cover on the bottom of the bell housing. You remove that and then you can tighten the bolts one at a time by turning the engine by hand with a wrench on the front of the crank.

The only plate is between the engine and Tranny which exposes the fly wheel. I really don't want to have to slide the tranny back and take off the fly wheel.

No, as stated, you only have to undo the 4 bolts on the dust plate/inspection plate and you'll see the flywheel. Tighten those bolts while holding the flywheel with a big screw driver and then rotate clockwise and repeat. 30 mins of work
