Cant get Trans out of car.....Wana get new converter in ASAP
I got all 6 uper bellhousing bolts out. the bottoms ones. The 3 alan bolts out the converter. The only thing left is the 2 cooler lines and the one dip stick bolt in the block. But i yank the trans left to right and the motor moves with it. i cant even get the trans to seperate from the block not even a 1/8 of an inch.... Is there somethign im doing wrong???????

The block and bellhousing are aluminum and the dowel pins are steel. This combination creates corrosion in the pin area which makes it hard to seperate. Carefully wedge a large screwdriver or pry bar on each side to 'break' the bellhousing loose from the block. When you reassemble use some anti-sieze on the dowel pins.
Also, double check everything. I have made plenty of bonehead mistakes by simply overlooking something.

Alot of people miss the top bolt dead center on the top. And like mentioned the dowel pins could be corroded to the alum.
Good luck and let us know how you make out!
