Ok guys those top two tranny bolts are giving me hell. I got the left one in but the one on the right seems just about impossible. If yall have any tips on getting it in there I would appreciate it.
First and formost, get yourself regular bolts instead of the reverse torx bolts.
It is hard, but you can fit your hand down in there. Once down there, use a wrench to tighten them with.
Put the bolt between your index and middle finger and use them to get the bolts started.

I'm using regular bolts. I did some research and someone said to unbolt the cross member and lower the tranny. Has anyone done this?

disconnect the driveshaft, lower the tranny and crossmember, or get about 5 ft of extensions with a swivel, worked pretty well for me, whatever you do, dont hack it and cut un-neccesary holes in the floor!
