damn, i forgot how much of a hassel the middle left bolt is. now im trying to figure out a different way to get at it with out taking out the distributor. The bolt is kinda in a hard to get at area, next to the floorpan and the tranny it self. Any one who's droped a trans in their driveway or anything other then a lift got a suggestion? Any and all ideas are welcome, thanks guys.

 

36" extension, flex socket, impact wrench, not much of a problem

 

Pulling a tranny as we speak.Id sedond that suggestion. I got my hand in there with an open end by removing the windshield wiper motor but If you get a long extension it is easier. It would be helpful if someone gets under thecar with the rachet and the other person guides or holds it on the bolt.

 

I think the last time I did it I used an open wrench to get it off by reaching down between the block and the wiper motor...scraped the hell outta myself too! It is alot easier if you have an extension and a flex socket like mentioned though!

 

actually got it before i read any of the replys found a swival socket and just had to angel it below where the shift linkage hooks up to the tranny and it was'nt to bad. Now to get the coolent lines and the top two bolts. Thanks for the replys guys.

 

Yeah, its a PITA. Glad to hear you got it though.
