I am actually a loooong way from replacing my interior but I am getting ready for reinstalling the engine and transmission.
One of the things I saw that HAD to be reinstalled before the transmission was the front support bracket for the center console. It mounts via 2 studs that go down through the tranny tunnel and is secured with nuts and washers. I am pretty sure there is NO way you can get to those nuts in the space between the tranny and the drive tunnel. GM did not have to worry about it because the interior was all in when the body was mounted to the subframe on the assembly line.
So how in the world do you intall a new front carpet section with that bracket in the way????
