Separating the Transmission from the Engine
« on: September 04, 2015, 22:54:18 »
I've removed the engine and trans but I can't get the trans to separate from the engine. Any tips??

Make sure all of the bolts are removed. Sometimes things will corrode together and you might need to use a bit of heat on any suspected areas to aid removal. Normally the tans will come off easily so it seems odd to me that it won't come apart.

Is this a standard or auto?
