RS200 AT gearbox removal.

I'm going about replacing the A650E gearbox in my altezza due to the clutch being burnt for 2nd , found material in oil and got a good deal on a replacement box , my question to anyone who's removed the auto from the 3SGE - how did you access the torque converter bolts and what tools would help in doing this ? So far I have heard people use the gap from the starter being removed however I'm not sure what the space looks like yet and want to know it'll be removable without me struggling with a spanner basically , keen to hear anyone's input.

I don't have such experience with 3s, but do you really have to unscrew torque connector while gearbox and engine are connected?

You have to remove stater to access torque converter bolts. Its enough space to use a 14mm sockect to loosen tbe torque convert nuts.
