I am having a difficult time removing the 2 upper transmission to bellhousing bolts on one of my cars. The transmission is a 4spd toploader bolted to a 289. The bellhousing has the Borg Warner bolt pattern so when the toploader is bolted up one needs to use the inner bolt holes on the transmission flange instead of the outers. Bottoms are easy but the upper ones can barely be seen. Anyone out there go through this and if so any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. I have removed the cross member so that I can tilt the trans for a little more clearance but that doesn't seem to help too much. Thanks in advance. All I'm trying to do is install a new clutch.
