Greetings all, its been ages. Damn truck keeps running. Until now. 1990 Montero 4X4, 6L.

The short of it is that all of the torque converter bolts (to the flywheel) have worked themselves loose. Most of them ended up in the starter motor gear one by one over a period of months before they all came loose. I had no idea where they were coming from, truck ran fine until yesterday and now the motor just spins without engaging the tranny. The tow-truck driver clued me in.

Here's the question. Can I re-install new bolts without having to drop the tranny? Maybe through where the starter motor goes?

Thanks.
