Also don't forget the 3 little 12m bolts at the bottom of the bellhousing.

I think Dave mentioned the splash shield, but it may have been missed in the
reply.

All total?

There are 6 big bolts including the long one through the clutch slave.
There are 2 starter bolts.
There are 3 12m (or 10m) short stubby bolts that attach the bottom of the
splash shield to the bellhousing.

Will.

Don't forget to remove the starter first.
