Metric or SAE ??
I am Swapping a manual 5 speed from a 1983 z-28 into a 1984 z-28 with a 700r4. I have removed the 5 speed. I have completed the prerequisite tasks for removing the 700R4 and expect to remove it during the 4rth of july holiday.
My Question:
I experianced some frustration in removing the manual transmission trying to use a 15mm socket. When I switched to 9/16 ths it worked much better.
I have heard that there are 2 bolts on the automatic that a real PITA to remove, so I would like to know before I start if anybody knows what size bolts hold the 700r4 to the engine.
Thank you in advance

Actually use a 9/16" socket on a swivel with a bunch of extensions. I usually grab 1/2" drive for this as the 3/8" flexes too much. Drop the x-member down and start at the top, all the bolts are very accessible from under the car, just make sure you don't smash the distributer cap off the firewall...
