Timing belt replacement and transmission bolt

[lstinthot]

I am in the middle of changing the timing belt. I removed the old belt and did not mark the old pulley and belt to make it easy to put back together. So I ordered the alignment tools. Now I can not find the "Transmission bolt" that alldata refers to. This bolt is to lock the crank to allow putting the crank pulley back on. Another issue, looks like the cams are not aligned to the point I have to pull the cam gear. This seems odd, as I did not loosen the bolts to change the belt. The car was running rough and knocking before I decided to change the belt and water pump.

Any help on where the transmission bolt is located would be appreciated.

I figured it out. It was a bolt close to the mid plane of the transmission bell housing. We did not use that method. We ended up putting the transmission in gear and holding the break. Worked good.

Nice job Mike. Thanks for updating us.
