I'm a lot confused.  If the 2 botyom bolts fell out , ok 2 less to remove.  The "strap" you mention ?   That confuses me.   What is the strap supposed to attach to or do?   As long as the 4 trans mount bolts are out , shifter removed and the speedometer cable detached , and the slave cylinder , the transmission should slide out dumping a bunch of its lubricant on its way out.   ( do drain it first!)  You did unbolt the braided ground cable that attaches to the bottom of the right frame rail and the lower slave cylinder bolt?  Just asking...ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Ryan via SpridgetsDate: Sun, Aug 16, 2020 4:37 PMTo: Spridgets net;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Removing lump on 74 midgetPlanning on pulling the lump together. I removed the 2 bolts in either side of the tunnel. The two bolts that normally come in from the bottom of the car through the bracket are not there neither is the bracket. However when I look through the peep hole at the tale end Of the trans I can see a metal strap bolted to the trans mounting bracket. Does this need to be removed? It’s been 10 years since I pulled the lump.

Chuck, that strap was on the 1974 midgets and it was put there to keep the
engine and transmission from leaving the car in case of an accident. It
needs to be removed :-)
