Hey guys,
I am removing my manual transmission from my D16Z6 engine and I cannot get the two to separate.
I have tried everything, a BFH, it is impossible to use a pry bar because there is NO gap in between the engine and the tranny, I have tried wiggling it, shaking it, and twisting it.
I am using a engine hoist and a jack to remove the tranny.
Thanks,
AND YES I HAVE REMOVED ALL THE BOLTS
which includes all six of the bolts connecting the tranny to the engine

 

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS

 

ANYONE??????????????????????????????????

 

Did you pull the starter? The two starter bolts also hold the tranny on.

x2 on the starter
also is the bolt going thru the motor into the trans removed

 

try a bigger hammer and prybar

 

#1 starter, but i belive there are more than 6 bolts, a couple from the block to the tranny

 

dont forget to remove the ten mm and twelve mm bolts from under the tranny.

 

werd therer are more than six big bolts the 2 10mms under and 2 12mm I think but the started is prob wat is getting you once I was going nuts because I believe there are some that dont have the bolt soo long and that all I had worked on so I left it on, turns out it was that.. good luck

 

Clutch cover.

 

I don't know if its on all z6 but my old 94 si had two seperated stiffeners connecting the trans to the motor (on the bottom). Also don't forget about the thin sheetmetal flywheel inspection cover, I believe there are two bolts on the trans for that and then two oil pan nuts/bolts connecting it.
