quick tranny mount question
before i get started on this job, I somewhat know you need to remove the heat sheilds around the cats, question is what chance could the bolts bolts break, and do you need to remove any exhaust or can you get to these? I assume they are more towards the front and that the cats won't be an issue, any pointers?

went through search, didnt learn much
ironically the only post that gave me an idea was one of yours with a shot of the underneath.
I ran across this and I didnt make sense, least what i could tell on the b4:
For the snub, you gotta take the bumper, front crossmember, and a few other things off. I welded a peice of 3" exhaust pipe into the spot where the snub rests, restricting it's movement a bit more than stock. I did notice a difference when I did it long ago.
it doesnt look that difficult, i can see bolts where the metal bracket goes from the bumper to the engine with I guess the snub is inside this?

I don't think you have to take the bumper and crossmember off on a B4 for the snub
But I have to admit, the one time I looked at it I found I didn't have the proper sized wrench and my socket wrench didn't fit up there so I put it off for another day.
There are plenty of short write-ups on it.
