Hi, i'm back. I have a 91 ford tempo that we just replaced the tranny on about a week ago. And the car is doing the same thing before we put the tranny in, so with further investigating we beleive it the torque converter that we did not replace. So my question is how do you remove the torque from the flexplate that goes to the engine. There no room to get to the bolts is there a special tool or trick. If anyone knows please help, Thank you

You have to take the starter out and go through the starter hole, but there should have a little plate you take off so you can get a wrench on it.
