trans pan removal
I was trying to install my new Mag-Hytech trans pan today, but I ran into a problem with the bracket holding the shifter cable in place. The bracket is in the way of getting the pan down. Should I try to remove it,(I can just barely get my one hand up there to touch the bracket), or try to bend it out of the way? What kind of bolts hold it in place? It feels like s torx type. Any trans guys have any tips to make this easier?

How the hell did you get your hand in there?!? 'Course, if the front drive shaft wasn't there, things would be a lot easier. I hate to do it....but I might just try to bend it out of the way. I'll look at it tomorrow, I was beginning to get pissed off, so I figured just put things back together before you mess something up. Man...that Mag-Hytech pan sure is nice!
