So now I just need to pull the drive shaft, starter, tranny, bell housing, and everything from the pressure plate to the flywheel, again, lol.
I just dont have some of the tools (I.E. extensions) to reach the bolts in the back, so im waiting for some friends to help but their schedules are a little busy this week. Trust me, im trying, I want my car back on the road. Just takes some patience.

Not familiar with your cars.....
But on my car, the T56 is a tight squeeze.
I remove the tranny first, followed by the bellhousing. The top bolts are a doddle that way from underneath. Refitting is also easy, as you dont have that stupid big bellhousing to wriggle in !! The tranny almost slides straight on ( on a transmission jack )

Quoted for truth, I've done it that was several times...

I can have the 6 speed trans out, on the floor in 30 minutes. take the trans apart at the bell housing, pull it out, then pull the bellhousing next and im done. How long is it taking you folks? I dont think I use but one 12" extension at that.

oh christ..that video is horrible. I hope this does not happen to me! more so i hope you can finally give us a diagnosis soon! Youll be back up and running man, you paid this far into the life of the prject, you can obviously pay a little more... (cage/and shield at least) At least the motor is fine, we think.
