First time ever dropping a tranny before.

I got the thing completely disconnected, axles out, shift linkages, all motor/tranny bolts, removed front motor mount compeltely, side mount I took out the center large bolt and left the mount on the tranny, the rear mount I took off the 3 bolts and the mount is free

I can pry the tranny off the motor a good 1/2" and ROTATE it back and forth from the front to the back of the car

But it wont drop

WTF would cause it not to drop when everything is disconnected? Would leaving it in gear do anything?

 

take the 2 bolts out of the starter and remove the starter

 

starter is completely out, the trans is completely disconnected, i can shae the thing front to back easyily without resistance, it just wont ******* drop

do you have to pull it back far for the shaft to come loose? the mount is touching the car body and the tranny aint going knowwhere

 

check the flywheel cover plate aswell cuz that holds it in and then just pry it and wobble it back and forth should come off

 

i dont have a flywheel cover

 

it has to come far off of the shaft to drop. just did this tuesday. lower the tranny side of the engine down so that you have room too pull it off.

 

i hope you didnt leave the trans out like that and walk away. you can bend the disc.
more than likely the trans is free. you need to support the engine so it doesnt hang up on the tranny as you pull it out.

 

removing the passenger side mount worked perfect, plenty of room to slide it back and pull it down. Only problem was then that there was still oil in the trans and it proceeded to run down my chest and onto my grandparents newer keystone driveway. Hopefully varsol took care of that mess
