Hmmm, I have never pried on the transmission in order to remove a 240
starter, but I've only done that job twice. If using this pry method
you must be careful not to destroy the transmission mount or either of
the motor mounts.

The upper bolt is hard to get to, but with a 1/2" socket set and some
long extensions plus one universal joint it is certainly doable. Not
fun, but doable.
