I think you're kidding, but just in case, CCW. If you're standing at the drivers fender, pull the wrench towards you.

That's what I've been doing, but I was hoping it was the wrong way, but it's just stuck. I'm using a hydro jack handle for a cheater and the thing seems to bend and when I let go it snaps back into position. :/
I think if I give it all my force I'll strip the thing into a perfect circle.

I got it.

I decided to give that little grounding bracket a few whacks with my awesome hammer and it budged a bit back and forth, so I went back to the bolt and it let loose with a mighty creak. (it looks to be made of half steel, half rust/corrosion)

Anyway, this is the thread letting everyone know I have started the 5 speed swap, even though someone forgot to include certain necessary parts in the freight that will cause another 1-2 week delay.

As you can see there is no dipstick, so there is a bunch of odds and a few ends I need to order up still.

Can someone look at this explosion (diagram) and tell me if there is anything I don't need for the swap, like for example part #35038?

Couple things I forgot to mention, there is abit of oil in my intake snorkel, possibly left over from the IRIS replacement, and what's worse, the black cover for the torque converter, the thing that covers the access hole for the bolts, is missing. Potentially bad because something could have fallen in there causing the problem that got me into this mess. Definitely makes me more suspicious of foul play from that shop, or maybe just stupidity.

OH

AND

you might recall there was a dent in my oil pan? now there is a CREASE.

YEAH.

WTF @ THAT someone is trying to destroy my car. saegfadrh24adth+5
