How Long Extensions for reaching E12 bolts?

[capejeep99]

I need to reach the 2 / E12 bolts at some point when removing the bell housing during the clutch replacement. Anyone have any idea how long the distance is from front of housing to reach the bolts?
Like how many extensions I'd need to reach the bolts? I will try and use a tape measure to get an idea but thought I'd ask if someone has this info in their head....
Thanks.

I don't know the distance, but access improves if you put a jack under the transmission, remove the crossmember and then lower the transmission a bit.

Yes. Thanks. I did see something about lowering the transmission in one of the vids I watched. So thanks for reminding me. I'll put a tape measure on it and make sure I know how many extensions to buy.

What you really need is enough extensions to change your CPS. That seems to work out to be about 36". If you have that you have what it will take to reach the bellhousing bolts.

If you haven't been down the CPS path, here is a head start:
