Once you unbolt the tranny crossmember, you can drop the rear of the tranny down quite a bit to get to the top bolts. Just use three or four long extensions with a universal joint and you can get them no problem. It isn't difficult at all if you're worried about taking on too big of a job. The only issue I had was getting the tranny to break free of the alignmnet tabs. Just keep working at it and it will come off. Don't forget to disconnect the wire connections and the tranny cooler lines.

never done this before on a f body, where do the tranny cooler lines attach? and what about the shifter linkage just unbolt it you dont have to remove the center consel?
thanks
thanks
once you drop it half way do the collant lines, will be easier to get to them and have a few drip pans close by.. just like talked about above the extensions from behind the tranny will make you money..
