I assume youve unbolted the motor mounts and any hoses to tilt the engine back enough to reach the top bolts? manual or auto?
why are you even swapping the trans?
so ur putting a d35 upfront right?

Those two top bolts on bellhousing are an E-12 external torx head. You need a special socket to get them off. Sears and the like have them..
And yes.. you MUST use a 4wd transmission. The output shafts are different lengths.
Lower the crossmember a bit, it'll give you better access to the top bolts. You'll need all your ratchet extensions to reach up there.
