What happens here

After the exhaust is removed, the transmission is exposed. Before proceeding, ensure the battery is disconnected for safety when working near electrical components. Locate the starter motor, which is typically attached to the bell housing. Disconnect its electrical connections and unbolt it from its mounting points. The starter is often moved aside and left to hang or secured to prevent damage. Pay attention to the tight space around the custom transmission tunnel, which may require careful maneuvering.

Goal: Remove the starter motor for better access to the transmission.

all kinds of room for activities under here now this is like way more manageable you can see the trans tunnel i made for it um i welded it but i didn't like bother doing the underside yet it's actually pretty nice up top but the underside was kind of an afterthought this trans tunnel would not take a six-speed like a 6l8090 before like i had to hog it all out to make this thing work but now we got to get the starter out um we should probably unhook the battery too i would say it's probably probably a good plan i always hate not unhooking the battery then you got to move the starter and you bump some wires off something and it freaking arcs and scares the freaking crap out of you batteries on
