Be aware you are going in to an aluminum block. As far as the clips go just pop them off and remember how the harness lays across the trans. Take lots of pics before you do it ands you'll be fine. Everything goes back fairly easily that way. The hardest part for me was getting the trans lined up perfectly to stab in but I got it in eventually

Gotcha. I was planning to do the same thing in the Phastek video, where the guy used a combo wrench on the back of the nut, and then an impact gun (1/2” inch drive) with a T-60 Torx hex socket bit. Hopefully it’ll be tight enough, and
I’ll make sure to use blue Loc-tite on all of the nuts and bolts. Should I use Loc-tite on the 6 main bell housing bolts, that connect the trans to the engine? I plan to use blue Loc-tite threadlocker, on like the 2 middle driveshaft carriage(?) bushing mount. If there’s anything else I should mind, when re-installing any of these important bolts/nuts, let me know!
