You're right. **** context when you're asking for help. Everyone should be telepathic.

 

Thank you for all of that, I didn't even think about the gearing.

 

e-12 is a bolt size on the bell housing near the top.only people who can help are people that had to pull the engine and deal with those 2 f'ing bolts.have to buy a e-12 wrench that you cant find anywhere.had to order it for 25 bucks.

 

Soooo... You could've just answered my question in the affirmative.
Have fun with your $25 wrench.

For anyone else wondering about those two E12 bolts, the easiest way to get them out is by dropping the crossmember and tilting the engine+transmission assembly back by lowering the transmission down with a jack. This provides more clearance between the bolts and the firewall. Then take them out with an E12 socket, a swivel, and extension(s). Then replace them with hex head flange bolts so you don't need to mess with the E12 socket anymore.

 

thank you.now I have to order a e-12 socket.

 

This this this.

 

Put a jack under the crossmember. Remove the 4 bolts/nuts holding it to the uni-frame rails. Lower it down and get a straight shot at the bolts.

Hopefully you haven't removed all the other bolts yet......

 

I didn't have to pull my engine to deal with it... I just took the transmission out. And then put them back on when I swapped the transmissions.

 

how did you pull trans without dealing with those 2 bolts ?

 

Do you actually read posts before replying?

 

that isn't even possible lol

 

Or just go to any of a myriad of local stores and just buy one, unless that makes it way too easy...
You can still pull the motor and use a hammer tho, your choice.

 

Ah man, one big happy family here! Lol!

 

You'll have to come over for Thanksgiving dinner, then you'll have something to write home about.
