It should un bolt from under the truck. Are you talking about the tran rubber mount in the middle. I try to take some pic's so you can see the trans cross member looks like in. I try to show you what i think your talking about unbolting . buy the weekend

you know how you have the cross member, and there is that angle peice that connects to the crossmember. You said i needed it on my other picture.... That angle peice as two bolts on top of the frame that hold it to the frame and then to the member. I think the cab has to come up some to put the bolts in the hole. thanks for your help man,,,,,,,,phil

Glad I could help, is that the only thing that was holding you up. Or did the bolts in the bellhousing still in & boot to the shifter have to come off
linkage a good shop car jack helps and some woo slabs, & extra pair hands.
have not worked on manual in a long time or helped with one. Good Luck & take your time. the first one all was a little tricky.

Well first I would buy two new steel lines to fit the trans side in & out put . Use the fitting on the trans side there a little pressure there & the fitting will keep from leaking for a longer time. the rubber can be used up to a fitting of the rad this way you can keep eye on them do not have to crowl under to fit them + now a good time to put in a trans cooler best thing save the trans make live longer. I think there more on the in stall on a trans cooler in the auto trans section. If you can not find, I or Don or one of the other can get you throw it.

So instead of using my radiator for the tranny lines use the tranny cooler insted? Just block off the radiator and take the tranny lines from the cooler to the trans fittings right? thanks

No run the line to the trans put the cooler in line out of the cooler to the rad if you buy a new cooler it should have info with it that the best way. put your rubber line on the cooler to one to the rad.
