I guess my next tool is technically going to be a set of low-profile Allen wrenches. The car’s an Audi C6/4F, and it also needs a new bushing for the snub mount (connects the front of the engine/transmission package to the front of the frame). The OEM bushing is some kind of foam like the shock bump stops which totally disintegrates by 30k miles. Metal-on-metal makes for rough shifting. There’s very little clearance above the bolts on the engine side of the mount, and my socket bit set won’t fit.

    Got the low-profile Allen wrenches and a taller jack, and replaced the snub mount bushing this morning. When the mount finally came off, 20 years of accumulated road dirt fell out and blew directly into my face. Always wear your eye protection!
