Yessir, that's the one.  It is definitely hard to torque.  Takes two people, one
stomping on the brake, or one person removing the starter to block the flywheel with
a board, or a garage door frame to hold the car as you crank it forward turning the
engine with it in gear.

All of these ways work, but the two person way is easiest with an MTX....put the
engine in 3rd gear, to average out the power delivered to the wheels vs effort to
move the car.

With an ATX, you can put a large C clamp on the damper and let that interfere with
the engine, but on an MTX, the damper will distort...it's thinner.
