Re: [DML] Pulling Transmission

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Run your finger between the frame and the back of the
bell housing..  You will feel the 4 bolts that hold
the shield.  I have had luck getting them from the
back of the car using a 1/4 drive ratchet, swivel, and
long extension...  A wrench works too, but you do not
get a lot of movement for each turn because of the
frame.

If you look at section 4-5-1 for the AUTOMATIC
transmission, you can see the shield (Part 23).  It is
the same on the Manual trans.
