I unbolted the tranny mount crossmember and unbolted the drive shaft center support to put the modulator in. The amount of access to the bolt for working on the area and eventually putting in a heli-coil, I would not be comfortable with. To much of a chance of screwing it up. If I drill to deep, I go into the tranny and then have to get a new case.

If I do it at home and not on the lift I will make a photo journal on the job. Hell even if I do the job on a lift.
