Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
For trans bolts with 'limited access', I remove the rear cross member, support the end of the trans on a jack, or something similar, lower the trans down so I can get a shot at the trans bolts with a long extension, and a wobble socket. It's actually almost 'easy' that way. (an impact wrench makes it even easier..... but, does give you the ability to toss bolts a GREAT distance once they come loose.
