Yeah I think that I loosened the cross brace on mine. But I had the D/S out at the same time so it was pretty easy.

I dropped the whole trans and unbolted the driveshaft but i was on a lift so it was just easier that way.... Damn that drivers side clip...

Just drop the cross member about an inch. I also removed the two switches on either side of the tranny, that gave lots more room...

It's not required. I woldn't touch anything I didn't have to. It's up to you though. Just make sure everything is secure before you go drive it.
