Got a LS bellhousing from the good people down the street at JW. I'm having the midplate redone to add the extra two bolts at the top of the bellhousing. This way I can bolt the bellhousing to the midplate and when I take the engine out the trans will stay in place.

I have the same bellhousing!!! Your going to love it!
An idea. Brian Minshall was the former owner of my car before Josh@KY turbo got it and he made access holes in the firewall to get to the holes on the bellhousing so he didn't have to use such a long extension and swivel to get to it.
Something to think about, maybe talk to TRZ about making you an access panel.

Thanks, I thought about just doing small enough holes in order to get to the bellhousing bolts. Might need to check the rules to see if that would be okay.

It went away! I think I don't have enough weight on the front end in order to get it to make the noise anymore. The spindle doesn't seem loose but I'm going to do the same thing you did with your spindles.

I might just do the one on the drivers side of the bellhousing (next one up from the bottom) That one seems to be the only one I ever have trouble with because it's squished so close to the firewall. Also, like studderin said what do you use to cover them?

I think I'm going to end up doing it anyways. I don't see how in the hell I'm going to get those bolts out once I have a midplate that spaces the bellhousing back .095 further plus a thicker bellhousing.

Ya thats one thing, I dont what to have to hassle with going to a motor plate (try to do it without a mid plate for now ) getting to trans bolts. I really like the poly mounts on the BMR stands I have now, it kinds balances the motor really nice, the trans weight saggs it down. And I can easily rock it back to line them back up, but the fast still has room up there before hitting.
Has TRZ dose any setups with welding the midplate right in, or making it removable. But having a tall one that bolts in really solid, not the open top style with just bolts low and of the side so you have the top open. T dosnt see you really tipping it back that little bit before it hit, gaining any room? SO you dont need it to be supported low on the side, so you have that more open, with header,starter,oil pan room.
And doing some work on the tunnel with some nice sealer acces holes, or notched pockets behind the top bolts, with sealed hole/plug? Like a promod style but the trans is still under the car.
Just brain storming
