Bill the tips you gave me helped out big time! The tip with the 6mm hex key is golden.. I was able to extract all the driveshaft bolts except for 1 that stripped by slipping the wrench and punchin the underside of the car!
Cluth and trans are in, few more hrs of buttoning up tomorrow. The transmission/engine alignment dowels were missing as well, another way to break the clutch and cause lots of vibration. Sad yo
