Actually it is possible. You can take the tranny loose from the bell housing and the tranny crossmember. Then take some really long grade 8 bolts the same size as the bell housing bolts and replace them with the stock ones. Then slide the tranny back after unbolting the TC from the flex plate and then you can access the flexplate. Takes a bit of manuvering but much easier than taking the whole tranny out.
