What is that Odd bolt linking the tranny to the engine
Bolt #4 from the top left going counter-clockwise

Its a triple square....

You can remove it with a standard allen wrench, it will not contact all the points, but contact enough for removal.

I think its a 10mm triple square, we ended up making our own.
