That bracket that holds the trans and engine together. I was not able to remove it. I was able to drop it down about an inch, but I couldn't get it out in the car, although I didn't really try that hard once I could see the knock sensor sitting on top of the trans....mocking me.

Also the bolts are really tight and the and about 2" long.

keep in mind I have an 05' so I have no clue how previous years are as far as clearance between the subframe and the engine/trans area.
