Cant get top right bolt out from t56 to bellhousing I'm trying to drop my t56 and I'm stuck... I have all of the other bolts loose except for the one on the top passenger side. I cant get a socket on it even though i have extensions. I can get the socket next to it though, the problem is that since i cant see the bolt it's hard to get the socket on it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get to this bolt off and remove it?

Straight shot from the back of the transmission by the tail shaft. Gotta feel for it. Although some times the clip is under the bolt head and gets in the way. Cant remember if its for a wire or something else. Its been a while. Good Luck!

If you unplug the harness on both sides you can pull the whole thing over to the left to give you some more room other then that take your time so you don't strip the bolt or you'll be dropping the motor and trans!! GOOD LUCK

Extensions + swivel socket worked for me. There is a clip that holds (the wiring harness?), and is bolted in with that bolt. You may have to stick your hand up there to bend and push it out of the way a little.
