the tranny wont separate from the engine. i've taken all 3 mounts off...supported the engine with a jack under the oil pan...i've got a jack under the tranny and im trying to get the apart but they wont come apart. there is no space to a flat blade screw driver or pry bar in. where to start?

 

Try taking the starter off. It may be held onto the flywheel...

 

try to pry evenly on the trans to seperate it with big pry bars

 

the starter is already off....everything that needs to be off is off...i just need to seperate the tranny from the engine. there is nothing to pry on.

 

bumping..

 

i also tried jiggling the far tranny mount on the left side.

 

Sounds like a mess. Triple check your bolts are off. You may be better off pulling out the entire engine before you damage things prying on the tranny.

Maybe you missed disconnecting something?

 

Did you take the flywheel cover off?

 

i took the two bolts holding the exhaust off and the two of them on the tranny housing but i didnt take the cover off. is that nessecary?

 

There should be about 7 or 8 bolts total holdin the tranny. Did you get the one on the driver side that is somehwere above where the axel goes into the tranny? If you did the try rotating the tranny while pulling at the same time. It'll take some time and muscle but it will come out eventually.

 

i'll go recount my bolts when i get home.

 

tranny is out...so i need a 12 point 10 mm socket to get the flywheel off?
