Default Need help with C Beam

i have excessive shifter travel and you fellas told me i should tighten up my c beam bolts. my question is where are they loose at and how do i get to em? i need to take my exhaust off? how about the top ones? are there any up there? do i need to do front and rear? is this actually what's causin my shifter to leap up and down? is this beam the only thing that supports the rear of the tranny? thanks for your help men.

I haven't been under my car in a while, but you probaly will have to drop the exhaust to get to the bolts. You'll see em' when you're under there. THere are 2 bolts at the tranny and 2 at the differential. The bolt goes up through the bottom so there is a nut on the top and the bolt head on the bottom.

Yes, the beam is the only thing that supports the rear of the tranny.
