Access Plate in Transmission

[GSPRunner]

Do our 3rd Gen V6 Autos have an access plate? I've been dealing with a ticking noise recently, and I believe it may be a cracked flexplate, but I'm not 100%. I'd like to get it up and be able to see if I can see anything before the tranny is pulled. Anyone?

i doubt if it has one.

you can pull the starter, and look through there.

It does. Crawl under there, there are 4 bolts holding it on. The two on tue drivers side are a major pain in the *SS to get to though.

Use a pipe on your wrench to get them off.
