My friend has a bad cause of carbon lock. Tried the ATF Trick no luck. Thinking of rolling, or pushing. Suggestions.

Dont push it. Take the inspection cover off the bottom of the tranny bellhousing. and using a screwdriver on the flywheel teeth, turn the engine over clockwise from facing the back of the engine.



Credit goes to j9fd3s for that tip.

so do I need a special tool to do this on a 12a. And is it just a plate to take off, on the 12a as well. Just trying to figure out how to fix the problem. Thanks
