Pulling my motor for a rebuild, EVERYTHING is disconnected, wires, exhaust, motor mounts are off, ect, ect.
All 6 of the bellhousing to motor bolts are removed and the car is an m6 so there shouldnt be anything else holding it on, I CAN NOT break the thing loose from the tranny, no matter which way i raise, lower or yank it, I am doing the pull from the top, and i already wish i went the out the bottom route..
Im too far into this to turn back now, been at it for two days, the thing is hooked to my cherry picker right now.
ANY idea you guys have on how to get this thing out?
thanks.

Just about anyone that cannot separate the engine from a manual tranny has not pulled the clutch release fork from the throwout bearing.

You grab the fork and pull it out after removing the slave. It's that easy.

It's a common mistake.

Same thing happened last weekend when mine was getting taken out... spent an extra half hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't come forward.
