The Reverend apologized for being late to the party but has cleaned his write-up complete with pictures.

Have to wish him luck.. he is now in law school and posting a lot less.

Prolene,
Just unscrew the bolt and leave it in the hole. If it does come out, you can put in in again from the bottom of the car. You will not be able to see it, but you can get to it with your hand. I actually put the socketback on it from under neath the car. I put a shop light on the crossbeam right behind the motor and shined it on the motor. I was able to get enough light back to see what I was doing.

I actually left the socket with the extention on the bolt, but it came off during the process of pulling the tranny. If you need anything else, let me know.

I did cut the ties. After doing so, I figured out how to undo them without cutting them. If you look at them carefully, you will see that there is a latch to open them. It is hard to explain, but they can be opened.

I did cut mine off and zip tied them back.

[B] Also, did you cut the harness tie ons on the tranny?... seems like trying to pull the old ones off is rather difficult, especially using a plier.
