Well I dropped my tranny the day before yesterday, yesterdat I decided to crack it open to see if i can find anything visually wrong with it. Well i took off the shift arm cover, took the rear idle fork shaft bolt (or whatever it's called out), removed the top two bolts that had the springs and steel ***** behind them. i removed the really two really long bolts, removed all of those 10mm bolts, and took the snap ring out of the groove in the bearing. i can pry the two housings apart, but it feels like the guts of it are still connected to both sides. i can only seperate the housing about a half an inch a part. anyone know why it doesn't want to come apart?

oh yeah, i took off one of the top seal things and found a bunch of synchro teeth and brass shavings... (oh boy).

 

You all done, the only thing now that is holding it in is that there is a snap ring on the countershaft bearing, just remove it w/ a pair of snap ring pliers and it will come off no problem.

already did that... i've got the thing seperated about a half an inch. the snap ring isn't the problem.

 

sounds like you just need to pull hard.. Oh, wait, did you take the sensor out, the one that activates your reverse lights???
