So I've figured out whats happened!!! There are no instructions for this in the transmission installation section of the service manual, nor is there a dedicated section for starter installation; but there is this diagram that I found in the engine section that shows that the starter is actually supported by bolts that go through the bell housing. I have the bolts and I know where they go through the bell housing, but I thought they were the usual "extra bolts" that I have lying around after any installation. Because those bolts also were being used for the trans grounding strap, which I had connected to another bolt, I figured that I didn't need them again. So I think that the starter slid further down into the V of the engine after I had removed the trans and I couldn't get the bolts through when putting it back in. Now the starters location is entirely hidden from view at all times and you can barely get your hand up to where it is supposed to be so I think this will be a challenge but I don't think I need to disassemble anything!

ReplyDeleteI've put a couple roofies in Jacs soda so i can slip out undetected. I bet that guy on the corner never thought I'd be using them for this
