John,
Having done the job a couple of times, I decided to think ahead for
once. You can drill two 1/2 inch holes through the transmission cross
brace in line with the bottom two angled fasteners. That way you can
just send an extension and socket right where you need it. It will save
about three quarters of an hour and 1/32 of skin off your knuckles.
Unfortunately, I never did figure out an easy way to do the job without
this modification. I probably spent more time staring at it than just
doing the unavoidable - that is, tuning the barely accessible bolts
about a flat at a time with a small wrench.

Hello All. Does anyone know a simple way to remove the OD Tranny
rubber
mounts. There are four 5/16 short bolts that hold the cross member to
the tranny.
Two can be remove with a suable socket. But the other two are a bear to
remove. And ever hard to reinstall. I have install many tranny. But
these over
drives suck and take me a lot of time. To install two of the bolts. Any
tricks
of the trade here. Thanks John, Flintstone, GA
