Reply to "Pulling the transaxle need advise."

Icole, the two bolts referred to are large metric allen bolts inside the bellhousing, added by Ford/DeTomaso/ZF to stiffen up the joint between bellhousing and transaxle. Leave them out at your risk. Pushbutton Panteras with the transitional dash-1-1/2 ZF & sand-cast 2-hole bellhousing did not have these.
And there are two MORE little 10mm bolts down on the bottom/outside of the bellhousing that hold the block-protection plate to the bellhousing so as to prevent vibration noise. These are routinely forgotten until the ZF won't come out even with all the visible-from-the-top bolts removed.
Note that pulling the ZF or engine is thoroughly documented/illustrated on Mike Daily's gigantic www.panteraplace.com website.
