I've heard folks do it for some of the other transmissions (remove/loosen the bracket), but I guess I'll see and report back. The only downside was that two of the bolts holding on the bracket are E-torx (E10) and really close to the transmission pan, so close that a socket won't go on, I'll try an e-torx box wrench, otherwise I'll deal with the running-down-the-arm thing one last time...
Yeah... I take that bracket off and let it dangle on the last bolt since the pan basically blocks it from coming out.
