transmission and engine wont seperate

[nascartech]

Just like the title says I can't get them to seperate, I got the 3 torq converter bolts and all the bell housing bolts and yes I got the one facing backwards.

[ItHurtz]

motor mounts use a wrench or screwdriver by the converter opening there are dowl pins in there "holding" it in place

[nascartech]

Ok i will try that and yes motor mount is undone

[00grandprixgtp]

now why would you want to separate such a good working combo

[nascartech]

now why would you want to separate such a good working combo

To make it better porting intake and heads and putting in a vam and all new valvetrain

If you got the backwards facing bolt, then you have the bracket between the engine and trans off by the power steering pump too?
I wouldn't force it it should just fall apart in your lap something is still holding it together.

[nascartech]

Bracket by power steering pump no that must be it i will un bolt it when i get home never thought there would be one way over there lol

[Scottydoggs]

yup theres a brace between the back of the engine and the tranny, pass side.

Ya i know the one now i completly forgot about it

[Nighthwk12]

How did you get the backwards bolt out btw? damn must have been a pain. If you take that bracket off first you can take about a 2' of extension on a 18mm and zip the "backwards" bolt right out.

[nascartech]

I had my headers off so i just got it from up top

[Nighthwk12]

Ahhh ok. So you got it apart?

[nascartech]

Not yet

[dsmuts]

What are you waiting for?

[nascartech]

Been busy porting but its coming out this weekend

[dbextreme]

Also a lil tip... Put a piece of wood under the trans pan and jack it up to keep it level and maybe raise the pass side a little higher. When you undo the bracket under the PS pump, then break the bell house loose from the motor the trans will want to "fall" into the motor. If you raise the trans back up, it will make things a lot easier and your flex won't drag on the bell housing as much.

[nascartech]

Everything is allready un done bellhousing im gunna remove ps pump and braket tomorrow

If you don't support the trans, you typically destroy the CV boot that lands on the subframe.

Ya im gunna put a jack under it cuz its coming out to so i can degrease the engine bay

[BillBoost37]

Then why seperate them in the engine bay and pull seperately? That's extra work.

FWIW you don't need to pull it to degrease. You can do 95% of the bay with the trans in place.
