Most all I have read made me think I had to remove the throttle body and intake to get to this nut and bolt. If I were alone that would pretty much be the path to take but with an extra hand & eye I just removed that last nut & bolt without removing the intake! Someone above with a light and a hooked wire to guide the socket with extension while I fed it from below & behind the starter, rachet from below until the nut begins to back off, torx-on-extensions from above/behind the tranny (with socket & rachet still on the nut) to finish. When the "new" tranny goes back in I'll put a strip of paper or something in the 17mm socket to hold the nut steady and have third hand guide me back on until the nut begins to thread back........... Now back to whatever you were doing.;)

C'mon, you said you needed a third hand, unless you found someone with only one arm to help you that leaves an extra hand for a camera :D
