VIN# last 6.....

is 356706 it's a non-turbo, much to my chagrin! Auto......
If you have been following my posts, I can tell you I finally got it out (Tranny and franken T/C). If I am reading the tea leaves correctly, I can tell you some dufus drilled a manual flywheel, (solid, about a 3.5in lip, back not open, with some sor of thin spacer inside that) to shoe horn on a T/C. As suspected, the backspacing was a bit shallow and the nose of the T/C had wedged itself into the rear of the crankshaft, it was painted so that acted like glue as well.. I had to partially remove the engine to get enough space to remove it all. As I recall, all the auto flex plates were barely wider than the ring gear, with the back cut partially open. I would love to get the proper part number for the Flex Plate and spacers as well. That way I can at least get it all put back to normal after I replace a main seal. Thanks in advance for any help, as usual, this board is a LIFESAVER! BTW Does anyknow off the top of their head what size 12t. socket will get my Flex plate bolts off...and what size Torx (replacement) will get it back on???
