Resuming work

I resumed working on the car today. I managed to pull the transmission out (single-handedly). I still need to check the union between the torque converter and the flexplate, but it looked okay. Which is to say, I have no idea why I could not get the two pieces to hook up well enough to tighten properly.

The thread locker that I put on the flexplate bolts seems to be working great this time. Too bad, though, because I actually was going to remove the flexplate to check how it fits with the torque converter. I still can, but it is going to take more muscle power than I am willing to expend right now. Maybe tomorrow.
