Lucky me! Was was able to get it out by backing up the bolts on the trans and not having to drop the whole thing.

I had a dealer pop one of the bellhousing guidepins into the bellhousing when they were re-installing the transmission. I noticed that when I would break hard I'd hear a loud rattling sound almost like a empty soda can trapped in the fan.

Well car went back in the air and there was a quarter size hole in the bellhousing.

Needless to say, I got a new clutch, bellhousing and hydraulics out of that.

must remember to put a piece of tape over that hole before doing my clutch tomorrow, thanks! Cause that is definitely something that would happen to me.
