so exactly how many bolts hold a b16 tranny to the motor? I've got seven out right now and can not find anymore is that all of them??

and........ WTF is still holding this tranny to the engine?

i have removed all mounts and i think all the bolts

can i rotate the tranny or is it more of a pull back and forth type of effort.

TIA

 

did you take out the starter and soloniod? when i did my clutch job i had the same problem. one of the starter soloniod bolts help hold the trany. at least it does with d series

 

i did not remove the starter just the upper mounting bolt for the starter. i will remove the whole damn thing and see if that helps. thanks

 

damn the book says the upper bolt but it is actually the lower bolt............grr..

 

you have to remove the starter in order to remove the tranny. one of the bolts that hold the starter in place, also supports the tranny. Remove the starter, fight with the tranny, and out she will come.

 

yeah u do have to remove starter and the intake mani braket too.. there is also a shield under tranny flywheel side take it off too.

 

thanks guys, 8 hours later and it's done finally........
