    I've taken out the tranny WITHOUT removing the starter. Are talking about the bolts that connect it to the flex plate? If so, and if I remember correctly, you can get at those bolts through an access hole from the bottom.
    You must have been out chasing butterflies when I removed your starter and torque converter bolts......

    Not too much new to report on today. Had customers cars to turn out.

    In the meantime I twisted a couple snapon triple squares in two attempting to remove the drive plate bolts. All ten bolts are still firmly in place.

    I fitted the adapter to the 01E. Looks fine however I'm making improvements in the provided hardware kit..

    My bolts didn't give me any issues coming off...putting the new ones in turned out to be a challenge though... installing the pedals were fun too...

    What "improvements" are you making to the kit?

    I felt some of the bolts are not long enough. The top two for instance. Instructions indicate to use the originals, well, when taking the plate thickness into play there is only a .500 reach into the block.

    I've taken photos and may point this out in detail later if there is interest.

    Is this Steve's kit? Is he aware of your thoughts? Maybe something he can improve on?

    This is good information. It's easy enough for me to add more hardware to the kit.
