Well it should just fall right out everything is removed that I can see I can pull it like 2-3 inches away from the engine, chevy 454, trany not sure of yet. Have a jack on the rear end of the engine so it wont tilt. One problem might be is the cross beam suport for the trany how do I remove that? I have taken the screws out it slides frontwards and backwards on the frames what else am I missing it is that close but just cant get it.
Stuff one end forward as far as you can get it and pound the other end back. It may wedge up against the floor but it will come out. Big rubber hammer works good.
Rubber hammer myass. More like a baby sledge, striking it like one of the carnival gizmoes to win a cigar.
And in the future or for other with similar r&r r&i plans, for tranny replacment without a lift, it is much easier to simply pull the engine and tranny as a unit.

My big rubber hammer is just like baby sledge. If you would like a picture of it Mervyn so you can get yourself one I'll be happy to post it. Most of us aren't too keen on bashing our metal parts with a sledge so we have to look at the big dents and ruined paint.....
Well I split the trany off the bell house and they both droped like nothing. And the next time I am going to get it onto a lift my nose is like two inches away from the frame, good things I have skinny friends. Good learning experiance to do it off jack stands more work but I am getting to know my car up close. My next issue is how do I stop the fly wheel to stop spining when I try to remove the cluch?? Is there a special place to ram a screw driver into?
