I have searched for hours and working on my car for almost 18 hours straight and I am stuck.

I am ready to pull the transmission out of the car however when I was prying on the TOB to release the clutch fork the two clips that hold the TOB to the fork broke and the transmission will not budge. I was going to split the case for the transmission and take it all apart individually, however there is a bolt that goes from the inside of the bell housing to the transmission case that will not allow it to be split while in the car.

If anybody can offer any advise or tips to get my transmission out to finish my install it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

so the tob is released from the trans tho right? you DID take out the interm. shaft from the trans to the t-case already yes?

 

Yes both axles are out. The Interim axle is out. The t-case is out. The TOB is pushed back and the fork moves freely, but the trans doesnt move at all.

 

If you cant get the TOB released you can unbolt the pressure plate through the inspection hole on the bottom of the tranny. Just rotate the crank to get to all of the bolts.

 

^^ right... you may have to use a pry bar to pull her off the dowel pins.. but they way you describe it should come apart like normal

 

Hey thanks a lot for the help guys...I finally got it out with this method. working on the reassembly now. Wish me luck lol.
