Re: [mk2] frickin' auto trans

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

Foxx, there are a number of bolts that hold the flex plate to the torque
convertor that you have to reomve before you can separate the two.  I
think you access them from beneath (it's been a while.)  Have a helper
tuen the engine over slowly while you watch - you'll see the bolts in
question - I believe there are three of them.

HTH,

Drew
