Default Help Guys!!

K I'm pulling my trans out and I can't seem to get the two bolts on the corners (9 & 3 o'clock positions) my universal wont fit between that and the firewall. I also can't get to the very top bolt. I got a jack under the enginge and a trans jack under the tranny. I try to let it lower but it hardly goes down. I'm trying to remember how I did my auto but I can't. Everything else is off.

thanks

Get one long *** extension and go over the top of the trans from the back (tailshft to the bolt). I also used a wobble extension with a regular socket for this. Works great. It also makes it very easy to start these bolts when you put it back in.

It's all about the angle. I fought with it for a while. On the bright side, the bolt went back in easier once i figured out how to get it out.

No just find the correct angle. Try lowering the transjack a bit.

I always have to lower the tranny some and use 2-10" and a 3" extension to get those upper bolts on the passsenger side.

well I just talked to my friend and the first hing he said was to unbolt the exhaust. I guess because I got true duals on this car I didn't take that into consideration. I guess the exhaust is holding up the engine so I gotta unbolt the 2 mufflers from the floor pan and see if that works. I'll let you guys know.
