How many Fing bolts from Bell house to Trans?? Help

[Rickinaurora]

I can not get the engine to release from the Bell housing. Is there more bolts in the oil pan that I need to take off? Its a 2003 D2.

some bolts go from the oil pan into the transmission.

Got the engine out. Just when you think you got them all another one would be found. 18 Bolts both directions. The bolt copy was happy with the Land Rover contract.

Do the '03-'04's have more botls than the '99-'02's?

There's 14 on both my '99 and '00. A couple of them are easy to miss if you don't know where to look for them and RAVE isn't too clear about the total number of bolts.

Don't let the torque converter fall out.

There are four more that go through the oil pan. come to think of it, there might even be six through the oil pan. Four from in front and two from behind, IIRC.

you'd think I'd know off the top of my head given how many I did there for a while.

No bolts under the oil pan on the 2003 I have.
