Unbolt it 
Do the flex plate bolts first.

that was a joke
does have a screen on back of
bellhousing right above transmission
probably to let heat rise up and out
from converter
think they figured out later
better to just keep dust out in there
around converter seal and trans front seal

trans is off of engine
had to give up on taking
trannny off of bellhousing because
of bottom passenger side bolt inaccessible
still don't know what's going on there

Check n & see if the bolt screws in from the front of belllhousing at the right(passenger) side.

trans to bellhousing bolts
are just regular
when unbolting bellhousing from engine
did run across 'last' bolt
bottom left ( sitting in driver's seat )
bolt has to be loosened through
access hole in bellhousing
CORRECTION: sure I had one last bolt to loosen
but there are TWO access holes on passenger
side of bellhousing to engine
took quick look and hole did line up with another bolt hole
think other bolt had fallen out

English not his first language perhaps? ChuckMaybe not, but i just couldnt think that removing the bell housing bolts/trans bolts could be complicated enough to require a question on it, unless he,s messing with us? More info on members backgrounds, age, etc can be a help in understanding situations. Just a suggestion.

Strange one Bill
His other posts refer to more technical items such as manufacturing manifolds himself, and then he can't unbolt a transmission.
No punctuation in any posts either so it is difficult to read at times

va lincoln
drivetrain (engine & tranny) was pulled out of pickup truck.
i bought it still all bolted together and brought it home.
i DID unbolt tranny from bellhousing first.
why not? this thing weighs a ton.
bellhousing is cast iron.
tranny and tailshaft are cast iron.
i got to move this around to clean it.
yblock billy
starter came off with accessories.
carb, generator, dist, fuel pump and various lines.
that's my bellhousing in attachment in every detail.
screen on back, mounts, round access holes and odd shaped opening on drivers side.
yep. it's a y block.C1TE heads.
have a nice day!

Good way to screw up the torque converter and pump for two reasons "why not?".

Now Your gona make me look, I have a Ford O Matic in storage that (I think) has a cast iron tailshaft. It's sitting next to an FMX with an alum tail shaft that is much shorter than the Ford O tail. One day they are going to be combined into an FMX O Matic for my 56 Fairlane.

You guys are right, the Ford O Matic I have in storage does have an alum tail shaft, it's so covered in crud I had to use a magnet to verify it was not alum. It's also about 7 inches longer than the FMX standing next to it. Bill, In the US the rear most part of the trans that accepts the slip yoke and speedo gear is commonly called the tailshaft housing, do you call it something different?

Kev, i was thinking that later, yes, if i remember rightly you call our "tail shaft", the "drive shaft" from what i see here. And you refer to the rear trans housing as the tailshaft? but was referred to as "tailshaft" and not tailshaft "housing" in 1st and 2nd replies, strange when the housing is not a shaft! but got the general idea.

It's great no matter where we call home that the "Y" brings us all together and we manage to understand each other. I bet that puting the timing gears on with the marks 12 pins apart on the drivers side could be a problem when you sit in the Right seat to drive
