Mhm.. Note alignment there with the mount bracket -- I had to mess with the engine support thingy that I modified in order to get this up to proper height

This bolt! Which, yeah, they want you to replace all the mount bolts. I'm not doing that. Clean and teflon.

Finding room to torque -- Yes, adding extensions does compromise the accuracy of torquing fasteners. But what'cha gonna do?

More torquing, this time with my non-ratcheting 0-50 beam type. I desperately want to retire this, but don't have $180 to spend on the Hazet 5110-3CT Why a weird brand that only reads in newtons? Because the first 20% of your torque wrench's range is not calibrated, and lots of bolts need to torque to ~ 18ft.lbs... Which is beyond an in.lb wrench, and beneath the standard 20-100

The singular bolt used to hold the trans side of the engine up was a "grade" 10.9 M8x1.25 with 30mm length. A grade 12.9 would be a more confident choice, but this one, even with cuts made for thread chasing, didn't bend. Also, thread chasing was helpful.

Last engine to trans bolt -- I did the others already.. For each image I'm posting here, I took between three and ten, which I'm now digging through to choose the best of. Oh. Do better than me. Draw more orientations on your bolt holder box. Draw vehicle front.

This wire... goes to. I forget. Trans speed sensor? Whatever. Note the wire, and the yellow arrow. This guy connects down the backside of the trans, just above the passenger side cv/axel/output shaft hole. Follow along

Here's the tuck, or if you're reading in reverse for trans removal, you'll be pulling this connector up from back here

Here's a rather shitty image showing my (now un)binding up of the shift linkage with a black zip-ty... not good for show and tell, but essentially, you need to ensure that nothing can catch on the trans when you drop it/are fighting it back on. You can bind stuff however you want, just don't bend the slave cylinder's hardline or kink the shift linkage's cables... and HAVE A SPOTTER

Had to pause here because I lost my silicone paste. These days I use Haynes Food Safe silicone grease. It's cheap on amazon, and if you accidentally decide to eat some, it's okay-ish.

Attempting Thai drunken noodles, but vegetarian. Honestly, Thai basil kind of sucks. And the recipe called for waaaay too much. It was a flop.
