Cant seperate tranny/engine
Cant seperate tranny/engine Alright I've pulled a few trannies out of Fbodies before. 6speed and auto. v6 and Z's.
I've got all the bolts out of the bellhousing, even the one on the very top. All around the sides, all torque converter bolts. TC spins freely.
Have oil pan up on a jack and tranny. Tried it with and without. For some stupid ******* reason it feels like there is another bolt. But there are none!
That I can remember or see.
I've bounced the damn thing off the jack trying to seperate it, I'm not sure if its stuck or if I'm missing something.
Are there any bolts go into the bell housing from the front of the car?
All the top bolts are out. I'm about to lose it over this stupid ******* thing. Or will that aluminum form a bond if it is that close for that long?

Its unbolted from the block and pulled half way out. But the bellhousing isnt budging at all from the block. Even tried hammering in a wedge. Gets far enough apart to see but not much more. Dont want to f up the aluminum.
If you're 100% sure you have all the bolts out, get mean with that thing. It took an 18-wheeler tire iron and a 3lb sledge to break my guide pins free. The passenger side pin actually pulled out of the block and stayed in the bellhousing.
