I have spent too many hours on these two friggin bolts. Does anybody have any tricks for the top two transmission to engine block bolts before I break out the saws and start cutting? I have tried patience and snaking many conglomerations of extensions and joints up there. I just can't get anything on it and I am running out of patience.

Yep, i had to use 3 - 6 inch extensions and a flex joint to get to mine. still had barely enough room. could only get about a quarter turn each time. patience helps.
