Hey! I know this issue has been rehashed here several times,but a question remains...
The cross member on my 97 is not really an issue,because when I remove the nuts from the tranny mount I am able to raise the trans & transfer case at least an inch which clearly provides enough room for pan removal; but:are any of the solonoids at the back of the trans? Because I will have to wiggle the pan to clear the X-member and don't wish to damage those units.This is what stopped me from completing this job on a holiday weekend!
Any diagrams available anywhere? Thanks in advance for any input!

 

There are solenoids on the back of the valve body. The schematic shown in any one of the transmission codes shows the location. Let me see if I can paste it into this thread for you.

Here ya go:
