I am just about gotten all of my top bolts and anything on the bottom of the transmission out. I am attempting to do the job myself and save $250 and put it towards something else on the car. So far I have removed the driver side axle and all splash pans, the starter bolts, all tranny to engine bolts, its about 6 or so, If Im correct there are only 2 tranny mounts and one has been loosend but I havent taken it all off yet because I dont have the car jacked up yet, I still have the tranny oil cooler line hooked up. I have disconnected the shift linkage and all tranny related wires, and plugs, the battery and tray. Is there anything that I missed, Is the job any harder? It seems I have just about done everything except jack it up and lower it onto a tranny jack and unbolt the torque converter. I have a few pictures also of my progress. Also at the same time I am trying to do my fuel injectors but got stuck with one of the middle plate hex screws. Ironically it happens to be the last screw until i can remove the middle plate thing and replace my injectors. I have pics of that also. What happened was the end of my allen key got stuck inside of the hex screw and I cant get it to budge. I cant get anything on it or inside of it as it sits pretty flush inside the hex bolt. It will only move up or down but not enough to get anything on it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Turn the allen head bolt with a hammer and a small chisel in the loosening (counter clockwise) direction.....

So even with that chunk of the allen wrench stuck in the bolt, it will still turn with a hammer and a small chisel?

This IS a much clearer picture of the bolt in question it is the only one left directly in the middle of this plate thing.

I use an extractor set like this one. It's worked for me with the only issue being finding something to fit over the end of it with enough torque to actually turn it (so far I've been using an adjustable wrench). There is a screw type extractor set that fits in your drill which may be better if anyone here can vouch.

thanks for the advice. I was thinking that I needed an extractor set or an easy out. I think the one that goes with the drill may be the one I need to get, as Ive never done this before.

You were right man! That method workd just like you said. I got the screw out of there! Now I can Change my injectors with no problem. Ive got the car in the shop right now getting the tranny replaced I should be back on the road next week. Thanks again!
