They're not giving you the whole story! You also have to remove the nuts from the lower studs! The Cap'n

I had the same problem a couple of years back...

No problem...... Easy Fix...

I had Aaron show his butt crack in the garage at my house.........

The tranny fell off from the laughter..............

Only one trick: The through-bolt that holds the starter on. You remove the nut from the engine end of that bolt, instead of unscrewing the bolt from the starter side. 'Cause you can't get a socket or wrench on the bolt-head on the starter.

yes you can ...be creative

You can actually completely replace first gear without separating the gearbox from the engine. Indeed, you can completely remove the gear stack w/o separating them. If you just pull the rear cover, reverse and first are right there. You can even do this with the engine and gearbox in the car...
