there is a bolt above the starter...its much easier to get that bolt out if you pull the starter out.

[scpbmxer01]

Yea that bolt sucked I got it after some struggle.

Starter bolt sux.

A long extension w/ swivel works wonders!

[Turbodude]

well i guess that when i did it i was working on a jacked up truck in Iraq and it only had a two bolt mount so it was positioned weird...huh i wonder why i had to replace the flexplate due to its bald ring gear.

If you are using the self flushing method you really don't need to drain the TC, it will just get pumped out during the flush. If you are just doing a dump and fill it is a good idea. Be glad you have that plug, later models don't. Just thought I would add this in case somebody was wondering why you would drain the TC.
