1972 LSA Supercharged Monte Carlo: We Fixed It...Then Broke It Again BAD (Stranded on The Turnpike)

What happens here

After all supporting bolts and the cross member are removed, the transmission can be slowly lowered. Ensure a fluid containment apparatus (like a bucket) is placed directly beneath the transmission to catch any residual transmission fluid from the cooler lines. Disconnect the transmission cooler lines, which are typically secured by bolts (e.g., 13mm). Once all connections are free, slowly lower the transmission using the transmission jack until it can be safely moved away from beneath the vehicle. The creator humorously expresses frustration and exhaustion during this part of the process.

Goal: Completely remove the transmission from the vehicle.
