I have the block & gearbox (b16a6) out of my (stick) CRX Si and on a winch. I've undone (I believe) the five or so big bolts holding the gearbox to the block yet, I cannot seem to separate the two. is there a trick or am I missing a bolt? Thanks ina dvance.

there should be a total of seven bolts if I remember right, also did you take off the starter? And you will have to wiggle the block and trans apart a little bit too

Thanks.. I think. Any way of doing this w/o the damage?

 

Starter off but I'll double-double check the number of bolts again. Might just have to do some intensive 'wiggling' & see how that goes.Spose a rubber hammer would't do too much damage so may have a whack with that too.

Thanks though.
