What should I do? Is there a way to not remove the tranny from the engine to replace the oil pan gasket? I've searched and all the guide out there are for manual LS or GSR.

I've done a few of these gasket before on corolla and the tranny oil pan wasn't covered. So I know how to tighten the gasket, what to buy, where to use hondabond, etc. Just couldn't figure out how to get around the tranny to the blocked bolts.

Thanks.

 

Found it:

To answer my own question, there is a "Torque Converter Cover" that I can remove with only 4 screws to expose those "blocked" bolts/nuts to replace the cover.

Don't use Hondabond on the pan gasket.

I didn't when I replaced mine and I have no leaks at all.
