Hi,
As per the title, the trans WILL NOT pull free.
I have removed the 4 Bell House bolts, plus the 2 for the starter, which I believe is all that holds it on. But the sumbitch will not shift.
Using ratchet straps around the axle (seriously!) swearing furiously, and levering insofar as possible, I can now see daylight all around between bellhouse and engine. But it won't pull completely free of the dowels.
I have tried raising and lowering both the engine, and the box. To no avail.
Is there something silly I am missing? Sadly its not possible to lever from above as no clearance.
Thanks!
