Haha, just messin. Im not sure how many bolts but once you have the piping and everything out of the way its pretty apparent what bolts hold it in. Is this an AWD? i cant remember. Also the manual will definetly have a better picture than we can give you

 

I dont see why you couldnt just look?

 

heres a quick and easy way to tell if there are more bolts holding it on. if you think you have them all off, try to seperate the trans from the engine, if it seperates, theyre all off, if not, you prolly forgot onelol. i dont thing there are any bolts that bolt on the opposite side, unless you can tell it goes through the block into the bell housing. otherwise they should all be on the one side of the bell housing

 

i did look/ take a bunch of them off and yes its an AWD and i can see it separating on one side but im not sure about the back side...and i can barely feel the bolt let alone see it to see if it goes thru the block. It feels like it does.....i was kinda askin towards the guys that have the 1g AWD's cause most of them have built the motor.

 

ive helped my friend tear apart his 1g gsx and rebuild it over the last 2 years if that counts for anything.

where does it feel like its catching up at?

 

there is one right above the transfer case, but you cant get to it unless the transfer case is off

 

There are like 7 or 8 and the 12mm bolt under the starter has to come off too, its a little tricky b/c u cant really see it.

And since its awd take the t/c off, it'll make it easier to see everything.
