I am trying to do a tranny swap and can not get the tranny to come away from the block what would anyone suggest...........

Everything has been removed. the tourque convertor bolts have been removed the dipstick has been removed. the tranny lines have been removed. all sensors removed driveshaft removed torque arm removed

It feels like this thing is welded to the block what the hell do I do

 

ya, ive found thats often the case, it seems like its on it real good, so before going any farther, i would suggesting, double checking that there really isnt any more bolts connected anywhere hiding good, and then youre gonna have to use a prybar or something to try to get it split open, its usually on there pretty good, dont be affraid if you know that everything is disconnected properly, to really giver.

 

man I have tried everything and still this thing is not coming off

 

I have had the same problem before, I usually try to pick up on the trans put a screwdriver between the block and trans the pull back down. The trans is stuck on the dowell pins. If you get it off use a scotch pad or something to clean the studs. I have done 4 different cars that way.

 

Yup, its sitting on the pins and without some sort of angle or pry bar movement, its not gonna budge. So how did ya make out???

 

Mine has been stuck like that both times I've had the transmission out of the car. I get a buddy to help me and we pry from both sides with large screwdrivers.

 

When we did my converter swap my dowel pin was rusted in place. We actually had to use an air chisel to get it loose but we finally after an hour of wrestling with it got it to come off.

 

Redneck ingenuity (sp?!) We tried pry bars and everything, it wasnt movin'! hehe
