engine pull help, pt 2
alright, when seperating the engine from bellhousing, i have the hoist and a floor jack for the tranny. ive taken off all the bellhousing bolts. the problem is the engine and bellhousing is seperating about an inch and a half all around. up to where i can see the teeth of the flywheel and part of the clutch... after this, it just dosent seem to want to come off...
in a thread a few days ago someone was having the same problem and he disconected the clutch from the flywheel threw the little door.... is this neceserry? i would think that the clutch would come with the engine and flywheel off the splined shaft in the tranny... any suggestions?

Unless you disengage the wedge collar, the tranny is still attached to the pressure plate.
You can either do like the other thread, or you can loosen the slave cylinder, push the throw-out bearing and wedge collar all the way into the pressure plate. While you have it all pushed in, use a screw driver to keep the wedge collar against the pressure plate and pull the throw-out bearing back to separate it from the wedge collar. That will disconnect the tranny.

LOL, grin...
Do you have the "inspection plate" on your trans? Did you notice the note on it. "Caution, pull type clutch"
Like everyone else said, this isn't a problem, you've just got to learn how to disengage the wedge collar.
If you can't figure it out then just go ahead and remove the PP bolts through the bottom most hole, after that you'll see how to disconnect the wedge collar. I had to do it that way the first two times I tried. Don't feel bad.

This might help with the clutch a bit, if you haven't already figured it out:

Look for my second post on 2-9-03 ... there are some pictures of the parts that you are working with.
