Yesterday I sold off the engine from my 82 300CD. We pulled it out and I separated the tranny off to keep.

First I found a bolt missing on the tranny. When I got to the flywheel I found that all twelve bolts were only slightly more than finger tight.

This is from when my Indie did the transmission transplant about five years ago.

I am goiing to have to have a talk with the shop owner.

The buyer is going to put it into a jeep. He showed up with a Dodge ram like mine but his has 4WD, a gigantic lift, a package on the engine and a 4 or 5" straight pipe.
