Wow, it is not an easy task getting that automatic out of there. 3 1/2' of extensions from the tailshaft along the top of the tranny, a wobble, and the reverse torx socket on blind bolts. If the assembly is tilted back, the head is against the firewall padding and there's no room for fingers or to see in there. Then I misjudged the center of weight of an auto trans and had some plywood and the jack on the flat pan, and it was really nose heavy.
On a positive note, all the exhaust nuts came off with a just a 1/2" ratchet, and everything underneath was easy to remove.
Yes, we dumped ATF all over the floor and everywhere!
I'd like to see how the factory mechanics do this. And what is the reason for the star heads on the bell housing bolts?
