I'm surprised you had a problem with the upper left bolt. On my Barracuda, the upper right one is the most difficult to reach. In fact, it was the bolt that routinely got left off by so-called professional mechanics until I started doing my own mechanical work. Anyway, it took a long extension and a wobble socket or a u-joint hooked to a regular socket to get it. Once I figured that out, it was pretty easy.
Of course, I used to be able to lie under the trans and pull it down onto my chest. Not any more. . . .
