Reach over the back of engine or remove cross member and lower back of transmission.
Long extension and a flex socket works good from rear.
In real bad cases the remove cab and front fender mount bolts and raise cab a little.
Clutch hyd line requires a special release tool.

Have you figured out to remove the gear shift lever yet?

Good Luck

You are welcome.
Usually when you lower back end you can get to upper bolts with a 2 1/2 -31/2 ft long extension and flex scocket.
Let us know how it goes.
Ps do not go cheap on parts get a brand new clutck kit and also good time to replace slay cylinder.

Re: transmission removal 2000 2.2l

i have a new clutch kit to go in it...heres another quick question....i have a borg warner t5 from a 97....some say its a better trans..idk but i do like the fact that the bell housing comes off....would it be worth the trouble to swap it in place of my current trans? if all looks fine ill prolly keep my current trans in there for now unless u guys kno of any major benefits of the t5?

You are welcome and thanks for letting us know how it goes.
Yes on s-10 bodys they put engine and transmission in and then set the body right on top as close as they can get it.
Keeps the inside of body warmer in winter time.

I had a C-60 truck one time that would burn your feet off when the temp got up to a 100 the in shade.
