I thought I posted yesterday but I don’t see it now. I’ll repost. Yesterday evening I cut the hole through the floorboard. Had a strait shot to the upper left bolt. The engine was up with the hoist and the Jack was under the rear of the transmission. I put the socket in place & used a long wrench on the ratchet for leverage. It came out! Then i was able to remove the other one on the right (I had missed it). When the bolt turned out some the engine & transmission moved apart about an inch! I was so happy! I could lift the engine out now but I need to remove the fan. My impact wrench’s battery died last week (a Rigid). The battery I ordered was lost so I’m waiting on another one now. Hopefully I’ll get it Monday. By the way, I can get to the bellhousing transmission end from the floorboard now. Pictures & one of the transmission.
