8 holding it to the crank. If the trans is out of the car, look at the converter...I think there's only 4 holding it to the flexplate, but it might be 6. Been awhile since I pulled a 4EAT.

I found 4 bolts attaching the flex-plate to torque converter on my 2000 Outback two nights ago. Gave the first bolt a shot of white spray paint and started taking them out until I got back to the paint.
I don't think it relay matters

but now I can line it up the same way for reassembly.

Does it make it easier to separate the engine and auto trans if you remove the bolts holding the torque converter to the flex plate?

I believe that is the way it's supposed to be done.

No it does not, but you do NOT want to pull the TQ off the trans if you dont have too...

I did and its a deep hole to dig (requiring special tools that arent easily found)
