Thats why its important to remove the transmission atleast every 6 months...

ok just kidding.. the dowel pins are bad about rusting and then gets stuck on the Alum bell housing.

Ive been that guy.....

Not trying to be a dick gadget, but how would you describe a stud to somebody?

A threaded rod, no head.

I believe it's a 13mm nut that holds the dip stick tube in place. But after that is removed there is still the 15mm nut on a stud, it's easy to miss, I've missed it before

I would describe a stud as a nut fastening two things together. There have been several people that have thought the nut was securing the transmission to the block not realizing the bolt had to be removed.

Maybe I described it wrong. Does that make sense?

I know what you meant, it was just easier for me to describe as a stud. Just giving you a hard time.
