i got my hands on a b18a1 from a 90' teg, it has a Auto tranny, which i wanted to take off, and for an odd reason the son of a b*tch isnt coming off, all the bolts are out, the starter is off, and btw the motor and tranny are on a crane (not in the car)
theres not even a gap between the seal yet. i tried hitting it still nothing, u think its just the seal thats super stuck, i know i didnt forget any bolts. thanks, any help would be great

 

Double check to make sure you got all of the bolts out and then use a pry bar.

 

yea im gonna check again for the 100th time, and the thing is i cant get a pry bar or screwdriver anywhere cuz theres no gap or and even when i get some grip it doesnt budge

anyways it may just be my shitty tranny stuck, i dont wanna bother people, i just have to beat the **** out of it

 

There is no real "seal" on the trans to block,
you got that arm going from the bottom of the block to the trans also right?

 

You are probably over looking a bolt. Happens all the time.

yeah there is no seals from the tranny to the block.
use a pry bar or a flate head and hit it with a hammer to open a little crack
see if that works.

 

Did you take off the torque converter bolts? Unlike a manual trans, autos have bolts going from flywheel to torque converter. You access these by taking off lower dust shield, spin the trans to access, there should be about 6 of them.

 

the converter is attached just like the clutch, and pressure plate are attached,
In turn being you wouldn't have to unbolt it til the trans is off.

 

its a hell of alot easier to unbolt the tc bolts first, especcially if the engine/trans is still in the car, it would have to pull perfectly strait out about 3 inches for the tc shaft to come out.

thats not whats holing it on, i took my auto tranny of with out removing the torque converter. id say you forgot a bolt (lower tranny bolt, the 2 t-bracket bolts, or you forgot to remove the drive plate cover). once all the bolts come loose the tranny will seperate a little bit. good luck
