just need to know what size socket I need to remove the bolt that connects the tranny mount to the crossmember

 

Not to be rude, but its the one that fits. C'mon man, how lazy can you be. In the time it took you to post this, you could have got under the car and found out.

 

I'm gonna re-iterate ....

You have a socket set right?

I mean really, take it with you under the car and try them out...

hint it's metric...

 

In all honesty it was big. Take like 16-19 under the car, Its one of those IIRC. I should it was only a few months ago I was doing that.

 

I believe its 15mm or 16mm... I put my transmission in last week, thats the only reason I know that off the top of my head

 

I just installed a new transmission also. Had to drop it out of an 87 T/A in the junkyard, plus drop my fragged unit.

Trans mount 15 mm.
Trans crossmember 15mm.
U-joint bolts 7/16.
Torsion bar to tranny tail 15mm (you'll need two of them; an open end and a box end)
Tranny pan 13mm.
Shift linkage 13mm.
Flywheel cover 10mm.
Torque Converter Flywheel bolts 15mm. (box end)
Trans cooling lines, on trans body, 1/2. (not enough room for line wrenches, even with crossmember dropped, recommend "stubby" 1/2).
Trans housing to engine bolts 9/16 (recommend "stubby" 9/16).

Yours are definately different than mine. My Trans crossmember was an 18. I also found that 11mm was a better fit for the rear Ujoint than a 7/16. Everything else looks the same.

 

My trans mount was 9/16
My Cross member was 15 mm

 

i used a 25 on about every bolt except the u joint that was a 11

my new wonder tool. ya know wonder what i did without one....

craftsman ratching wrench. ya know the box end is a ratchet. works great on those tight to get into trans bolts. made quick work of em....highly reccomend for trans bolts.
