Im working on my d16 in my basement and Im trying to get the tranny off in order to take my block to the shop. I have already taken out the 4 or 5 17mm bolts and the 2 14mm bolts on the underside by the oil pan. I cant find any other places there might be any bolts and the tranny isnt moving. are there more bolts on the underside? (the side I cant see because Im working alone and cant yet get the motor onto the engine stand) any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get my motor in the shop ASAP. thanx

 

Have you removed the starter?

What about the rear engine bracket?

 

i have everything off but the lower bolt on the starter. thats because its my last 14mm socket and its getting eaten by the ******* bolts. i got it to turn by hand, spun it twice then it tightened on me again so i left it to see if the tranny would move with it in. im guessing that thats my problem huh?

 

Gotta take the starter completely off to remove the tranny.

 

ok, starter is off now. my dumb *** had all the other bolts off and that tranferred all the weight onto that last lower starter bolt. i put a few 17mm back in and then it came out... the hard was, but out none the less. now im trying to get the tranny off. its starting to but the bottom doest want to come off as much as the top and sides. i looked down there and there dont seem to be any bolts, am i missing something obvious again or should i just wiggle and bang the tranny off? thanx for your help.

im going to reference the manual now, see if that helps eventhough its kinda shitty
