ok u know by now i have been trying to unbolt this bell housing from the motor for 3 daz and i just heard today that i can leave the bell housing on and just undo the rear of the tranny and pull the motor and bell housing all at once? can i do that on a 1997 3.8 automatic tranny? and if so is the anything i should watch out for? or just unbolt it and pull off? thnx in advance for ANY AND ALL HELP. BB

 

I had to unbolt mine from the bell housing also cause i could'nt get to the top 2 bolts on the bell housing. The only probley with an automatic is u have to worry about the torch converter sliding off the shaft easy so take your time and be careful with it.
