I "think" I understand your question but not sure. One thing I do know is someone had a tranny from a bigger truck in a 37 pickup I worked on not long ago. I could not get it loose either because the back part of the tranny housing did not have the little indention to get the stuff loose. We ended up pulling the rear end back to get it out.......and it had to be put in the same way. Folks back years ago, and even today, used whatever they had on hand that they could make it work. Sounds like a case like mine....wrong tranny for the truck you have. Its not that hard so pull the rear end back some......

I doubt this helps but I want you to know I feel your pain.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
