Hi,


I’ve been there and done that so you don‘t have to. Believe me! It’s not that easy, but once the bolt was loose it unthreaded by hand from the engine compartment.

To gain more access to the space between the engine and the firewall, I lifted the tailshaft of the transmission using the floor jack. This made it easier then diddling with the extensions. The transmission mount was swollen from the rear main seal leak, which I am attempting to remedy.

What car are we talking about here?
Usually to remove the tranny or bellhousing you have to remove the tranny mount as well as
the driveshaft. With the tranny hanging down, if you take the top bolts out first
they usually come pretty easy.
