problems pulling tranny.
ok guys i was at a buddys house last night and we just got done pulling his motor and for some reason unkown to me the tranny WILL NOT seperate from the motor. YES i disconnected the TOB from the pressure plate. it comes all the way off the dowels and then want budge for the life of me. I have never had this problem with another car so im at a loss. IS IT REALLY JUST THAT MUCH A PITA TO SEPERATE? my buddys starting to get ansy as this is his 1st build and hes afraid of problems which we all know happens. just looking for aomse insight. maybe a few tips or tricks.

ok i wasnt clear i guess. the motor is out. ALL bolts holding tranny to block it. TOB is disconnected. its aleady seperated from block about an inch. but for some reason it just wont slide the rest of the way out. does anyone have any special techniques they use to do this as i know its a ***** to do but ive never had it take this long with no results.

yes. all the proper steps have been taken. everything is done text book but for some reason its not popping off the last maybe inch of the spindle. its the first time ive done and i have never had this problem thats why im at a loss as to what it is. kina driving me crazy.
The only thing I can think of you do not have the TOB fully disconnected. What you describe is exactly what the issue is when the TOB is not released. Like said before pics would be helpful. and once all the bolts are out and the TOB is disconnected it should not be a PITA to separate the two.
we had to hang our motor from the top of the engine lift and shake the s*** out of the trans for hours to get them to seperate. Same thing we had an inch and then it wouldnt budge. dont get too frustrated.
