First of all, does the tranny dip stick seal in a way other than pressure fitting in there? Mine was just pressure fitted in and had RTv all around it.
And did you know that there are TWO inspection covers for the torque converter? And that it's REALLY HARD to drop the transmission without taking the TC bolts out through the little cover first? That little cover buried under 1/2 inch of grime behind the downpipe and under the turbocharger?
On another note, is there any tricks to aligning the TC holes to the flywheel holes?
