You've been watching Turbo Yoda (with a Woody) @ the skid factory...I can tell.

I’m afraid I have no idea what you are talking about! Never heard of him/her/it/they/them!

NSW I think...

The flex plate can look OK on inspection but can have micro fractures that can't be seen with the naked eye, so probably best to replace with the mileage but wouldn't go britpart route.

I reckon I can see one with the naked eye so my vote is replace ... But not Britpart!

Well it's off the engine and ready to go back on when the time comes.
There's not loads of room to manouver the TC bolts out through the inspection hatch, but it's all done.

The engine, gearbox, and transfer box are all apart now, and I think I'll do all new seals before it goes back together once V8 Developments have finished with it.
Thanks for all the advice, I had watched that Skid Factory video @myfirstl322 it's very useful!

Great, useful for everyone I hope, that (Alan, Al) turbo yoda and Woody (stage right) btw.

That was just a small tech vid, if you like wacky Frankenstein engine swaps/conversions that's their usual fare.

Found it easier to go through the starter motor hole to bolt the tc up.

It's a lot easier with the whole lot out and on the floor, that's for certain.

That's a very good idea. Don't be tempted to get cheapie seals!
