Transmission removal, NEED HELP!
I don't know if the 4l60e use the same bolts as a t56, but mine ended up using two big extensions and a swivel to remove the top bolts, and to bolt in the top three with the th350. It's gonna be rough, prepare to use a few bad words

with the tranny mount removed the weight of the tranny should tilt the engine enough. Then as your by the tailshaft work your exstensions up to those bolts....when your done getting those off toss them as far as you can!!!!!

Some people don't put those 2 back in but each to his own. I just pulled my 400 out the other day and I will say this the prothane motor mounts will keep the transmission from tilting back, way better then stock. The trans only moved down maybe a 1/2 inch. I was trying to figure that one out for a little bit lol.
put a floor jack with a block of wood under the trans pan. Remove the crossmember and drop it down some. i use a 3/8 to 1/2 36' Extension with 15mm swivel socket. if you dont put those top bolts in you are rollin the dice....

Don't know about the ls1's but on my lt1 car I removed the top bolts from under the hood. A flexhead gearwrench made it easy. I know ls1'sl have one missing on the passenger top side but maybe it'll work. Of the two lower bolts on the passenger side the top one was a PITA.
just remember if you never had it out before it will be stuck on the dowl pins.i used a ratchet strap over the rearend and hooked the other end to the tail shaft and cranked it down slow couse its going to pop out hard and fast.so be carefull couse it will be stuck.took me 2 or 3 days to figure it out and i got on here and thats what everybody els has done.works great,dont forget to antiseze the dowl pins to just incase.your good to go then
LOL... ya what hed said... have fun removing the torx bolts to the bellhousing. I had to use a torch and a half inch impact to remove them and still i couldnt get two out so i had to drill them out. Good luck!
