Drop the transmission crossmember, get a really long extension, a swivel socket, and a breaker bar, or Impact wrench, if you have access to air.

I did it with a 1/4 ratchet, 12 inch extension, 3 inch extension and 2 u-joints. it was also about 5* outside that night.

ok the swivel socket sounds like a good idea i may try that.

I used a ratcheting box end wrench with 5 degree clicks, there was one bolt that I could only get one click on per movement, I had to put my hand in behind the intake manifold where the heater hoses go into the cabin and that one bolt was such a bear. Funny how after removing the automatic and putting the manual in I was able to get to the same bolt from under the car much easier to tighten it. Dang automatic was just too big to get it from the underside I tried, but I didnt think of a swivel bit.
