Hi and welcome to the forum!

I looked over those post and it just answers after u get the trans out. I need to know how to remove the trans to get to that point

Welcome to this forum! There are bolts going around the bell housing which hold the transmission to the engine. The starter is in one pocket, and the torque converter is inside of the bell housing. It has 4 nuts holding it to the flexplate. You have the transfer case on 4WD models in the rear with a drive shaft after this. The lower cross member holds the transmission mount. You have 2 hydraulic lines on the passenger's side of the transmission going to the front cooler.

For the torque converter bolts remove the starter and rotate the engine around by hand to get to them. There are four bolts.

Agreed. These things are indispensable when working on any vehicle.

I agree that the Haynes manuals are somewhat accurate but recommend the OEM shop manual or a subscription to ALLDATA for more accurate info.
