help with 12 o'clock bolt!
Im taking my transmission out to put my rear oil gallery plug back into the motor but im having some trouble. I've got everything unbolted from the transmission, lines connections, everything - except for the top 12 o'clock bolt. I've got poly motor mounts so the transmission will not hang low enough for me to get extensions and a socket on it.
Help! what can I do??

I just replaced my transmission for the first time with the poly engine mounts installed and it was just as easy as with the worn factory rubber mounts. You need a 13mm, 3/8" drive shallow socket installed on a 3/8" universal adaptor. With that and a 24" extension I had no trouble removing or installing any bolts.

if you want the easiest way.... remove your intake. I had my intake off and you can just reach back, toss a 13mm gear wrench on it and off it comes. Just a thought.

Wow, you guys get creative!
Take a long extension like what was mentioned... I personally use a 36" x 3/8" and the correct impact wobble socket. I come in above the right rear side of the case and dick with it for about 2-3 minutes and about the time I am becoming annoyed I am finished.
Don't make it any harder than it has to be... use the correct tools!

^^My buddy is 6' 4" so I guess your just screwed . Just keep at it, you'll get it. Even with the poly mounts, you should be able to pull the tranny down quite a bit. Also, make sure your lid and all that is disconnected. That gets forgotten quite a bit and can cause a bind and/or crack the lid.
