Problems replacing my O/C trans switch 700 1988

I got my new overdrive switch (the one at the transmission)...

I steeled myself for a full Saturday under the car removing the brace so I could lower the trans to reach the switch...

Jacked the trans, removed the brace, carefully lowered the jack, and... the trans only dropped 1/2 inch!

I disconnected the driveline but only gained another 1/2 inch. The oilpan drops to the front brace and that's all I can get. I can't seem to find a socket or wrench that will do the job in my available space. I had studied various sources before trying this and got no mention of this possible problem.

Anybody out there have a better idea how I can get this switch changed?

Thanks.
Jim Wilkerson
