You wana come round tonight man and give me a hand, thats the last thing to do.

That weird little access hatch on top of the motor with a rubber bung in it - take that out and turn the motor over. Theres 4 bolts, all at 90 degrees to each other. I believe they are 12mm and take a fair whack to break them loose.

Then when taking the gearbox off - make sure the big donut shaped thing stays as far into the gearbox as possible. If it slides out, youll make a mess and have a fun time putting it back in.

Its here on the H6, a bit more to the driver side on the 4cylinder models.

You gotta take the whole intake manifold off to get to it on the EZ30. I think on the B4 motors it can be done without that hassle

i know the bung now..

so try keepo some donut in there...hmmm k il have a look when i get home

its nice and easy, when i did mine i dont recall undoing the torque converter until i had the box off, this was a few years ago, my memory could be wrong

For an auto if you have the motor basically ready to come out with the bottom mount bolts out, you can just lift the motor up slightly and unbolt from the bottom (in between the sump and the crossmember).

You dont want to pull the the motor out with the torque converter still attached to the flex as this could very easily damage the pump inside the box which means the box has to come apart to replace it.
