I believe there are a couple of bolts that hold the transmission from the other side. Did you pull the starter? Be sure to pull the starter and check for the bolts that go from the engine into the transmission.

Is the starter removed also? It has to come off, If I recall correctly. You likely still have a bolt or two left.

There is a total of 7 (seven) bolts just that hold the bell housing to the back of the block! I think you missed a few.

in the video you see the fly wheel and the starter removed as I mentioned those are the 2 front bolts.


as for 7 bolts so I have removed six ... 4 in the back where would that one last be
I removed the 2 you see in the video

and the other side was the Dip Stick bolt and the one below it... where would the other bolt be

its awkard to see it..

is there a picture where it shows the bolt holes so I can see

Thanks for clarifying that the starter is removed - I could not see that from the video. There is another bolt on the front near the starter - did you remove it? That one tripped me up before.

I suspect it is at the top of the bellhousing, cleverly concealed somewhere. Might need a mirror to see it....

There is one directly on top in the middle and the others are evenly spaced apart.
