wow you would think this would be easy but i never took a trans pan off before. kasploosh LOL now i got to scrub the cement in my apt to try to get all the trans fluid off. i put cardboard down and an oil change pan but it was a huge amount of fluid, and i missed the pan with most of it.

then the one bolt that is holding the solenoid, (torx head) stripped out
i spent all day trying to get that thing out going back and forth to the autoparts store lol. ended up just grinding a slot in it with my dremel and got it out with a flat screwdriver w/ cresent wrench on it.

man you have no idea how victorious i felt when i finally got it to budge.
