from engine to trans is a ring of bolts. you did keep track of where the bolts go, didnt you? THE most important thing is the two allinement pins, i think are on the the bolt circle as the bolts. the pins are press fit in the trans i think. the pins should be 1/2 dia. if the pins are not in it will tear up the flex plate and torque converter. please pardon the copy and past. add this to your chrysler trans. an external fluid filter
1. go to auto-zone. get 2210, its called a power steering filter, but it is for transs to. it is for 3/8 tubing. by (magna-fine) be sure to use high pressure hose.
2. for other sizes wix 58964 5/16 tube size

NEW SUBJECT: .distributor moisture fix. Some chrysler distributor cap that has an air vent, needs to have the vent plugged. Best to use JB-weld. But there might be some brands that run air through as part of the system, dont seal them

i have seen two ways to get the top bolt. 1. get a swivel socket, on a very long extension. 2. from the top use a box end wrench, use the box end. its kind of slow, but works.
