REMOVING TRANNY questions
I will be removing my tranny this weekend to see if there is a crack in flex plate.
Car has loud Knock/Rattle. After much trail and error it has been suggested that it may have a crack in flex plate.
What else should I check or change while I have tranny out.
Also are there any tips you may have that would help with removal or instalation.
Thanks in advance.

Rear main seal!! Now would be the perfect time. Good luck, a couple of those bolts are fun.lol Make sure you have a good asortment of extensions and flex sockets. Oh yeah, and air tools make life easier aswell!

A tranny jack is nice too. You can get them for $75 at the autoparts stores.

check to make sure the torqe converter bolts to flexplate are tight...mine came loose i just tigened it down and it was fine... yes youll also need a swivel and 21-23inches in extension to get to the top 2 bolts for the bell housing...and drain the fluid first...otherwise youll hvae 8.5quarts of tranny fluid on your garage floor
