There was a thread about this a few days ago, do a search. I will tell you that it is a BIOTCH

Inamous 3rd bolts. I didn't have to deal with that when I did the trans becuse I had to take passenger side header off and with crossmenber off, its a snap

Try going through the front of the engine mount...Get a flashlight and you will see what I mean. We were able to run some extentions and swivels throught there to get to it but you need two hands. One for the ratchet and the other to guide/keep the socket on the bolt.
