Chris,
I am doing that very thing right now. Just finished installing new tranny with engine still in the car. Next I was able to fairly easily remove the cross member and inboard mount brackets. But as stated previously, this is when you wish the engine was out. Tomarrow I will work in installing the new inboard brackets and new cross member. I can tell you for sure that I will not be able to get a torque wrench on the two upper bolts for the bracket. Medium length rachet - yes, longer torque wrench - no If possible, I would remove the engine as it will clearly be easier. But to answer your question, yes it is possible. If interested, I can provide more details/hints I found along the way. |
