hmmm,that is a problem. did you install the th350 after it had a stick shift? because i just converted mine from 3 0n the tree to th350 and i hade to remove that front xmember,and i had to use a rear xmember,if yours is supported by the front stickshift xmember,do you have a dustcover on and is it hitting the bellhousing? these are just the probs i had,so i removed the front xmember.

Bowtie or nothing!

Just unbolt the mount, and jack up the tailshaft a little. Then you'll be able to slip a 1/4 inch drive rachet in there to lossen the offending bolts.

Ran into the same problem when I went to change the fluid/filter on my TH-350. Managed to fit an open ended wrench up in there, and got 'em off with a lot of patience.
