July 20, 201015 yr Use whatever flex plate came with the transmission and the bolts that held it to the engine, they're shorter than the manual flywheel ones. 2.5l torque converters are bigger than 2.2 ones, so you have to use the flexplate that matched the tranny and whatever engine was bolted to it before. Seeing as the wiring connections are back by the bellhousing, you're putting in an OBDII engine. I can't tell by the pic what car you're putting it into, but if it's an 95 or newer you will always have the check engine light on due to the lack of an EGR system on that engine. Just so you're aware. Other than that, you may have to do some hose re-routing if the charcoal EVAP canister is under the quarter panel in the back vs behind the RF headlight in the front. Should be plug and play.

July 20, 201015 yr I figure that funny thing with the 6 bolts.. but is there anything else? That's called a pressure plate. It's a part of the clutch. The clutch disc is between that and the flywheel, which is the large heavy (about 25lbs so don't drop it on your foot) wheel with the teeth on the outside that the pressure plate is bolted to.
July 21, 201015 yr Very easy to break the 4EAT when you install the engine if you have never done it before. Just a warning.

July 21, 201015 yr Elaborate. you can destroy the trans oil pump unless the TC it is seated correctly. search 'torqueconverter' and read the older / oldest thread. it used to have great pictures.
