How do I access the torque converter bolts? I took off the access panel and spun the wheel and even checked through the starter hole but I still didn’t see any bolts or nuts.

Oh, wait it’s manual so it’s probably different, right? I’ve never worked on a manual car before.

No problem, nice seeing you again. No there are no torque converter bolts for a manual transmission car. Just undo the bell housing bolts and pull the transmission straight back. Here are the instructions on how to remove the standard transmission. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
