UPDATE,,,,,,, 16 Feb
I pulled the transmission in mid January. I delivered it to Portland OR, TRANSMISSION EXCHANGE Jan 29. A week later it was ready for pickup. (Its still in Portland thanks to the snow.) I purchased a clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing from HAGENS Autoparts, Puyallup WA. https://hagensautoparts.com/ So now need to actually pick up the parts and finish up the engine checks/rebuild and rear axel reseal.. NOTE: I read up on the engine work and "pull the front clip" was discussed several times, So never having pulled a clip before I proceded with caution... got three friends over and as discussed we lifted it off. Sure makes accessing the engine and front area of the car so much easier. More later Larry

Had to use a slide hammer with the rod with a hook as mentioned in other posts to get this one out.
(Gentel bumps with the slide) Once out I found it is of steel construction and has several rott holes. See attached photos... Now to find a replacement. Good thind though, It was perty clean inside with no appriciable mung/blockages.

As I start working on the car I'll try some of the PB on the edge peices, I like the original mat sticking out from under the carpet edges.
Next will be opening up the trans and see what is damaged. That will be after seting up and being part of the staff at the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials in Wendover Utah next week followed sometime in September replacing the roof on the garage.... I know Motorcycles are not part of the forum but if you want to see these garge to factory built machines going FLAT OUT Come on down, up, over to the Bonneville International Speedway starting the last weekend of August.

If you use a "long" extension be aware of the twist flex in some that will not allow you to transfer the torque to the bolt.
SNAPON does make one that has limited twist that I have used for trans bolt removal. I do have several cheap long ones that when using a standard ratchet handel I can see some twist as I use it.

Thanks for the info. The reason I am hesitant to pull from the top is the car has a original floor mat , I'm afraid that as I try to remove it to access the floor boards that it will just fall appart, Does anyone know if there a product out there that will help restor some flexability to 81 year old rubber mats?
WELL........ Went out and checked under the carpet...... There is a large hole under the drivers heal and missing peices in other areas..... So the question becomes , Does anyone make reproduction rubber mats for the front area of a 37 115c Thanks to all, This is gonig to be a october project . ( I have owned the car for about a year and have been having fun driving it and had not checked under the carpet,,, The previous owner had the car from 74 and kept it garaged till I purchased it so I did not do a under carpet check prior to this posting...)

HI to all,, I've been following the forum for about a year.
My current item is the removal / rebuild of the 115c 6cyl transmission. The manuals all direct you to remove through the passenger compartment after removing the floor boards. My question is, can the transmission be removed from the bottom? All responces will be apppriciated.. My level of skill is a home repair/shop that well equiped, rebuilt a 49 Buick and a Modelt and keep all the daily drivers running, but working on jack stands due the the cieling height not allowing for a lift..... So not afraid to get greasy..... Thanks LArry
