Moves freely forward and back for the two inchs,but won't come out all the way. Any thoughts or advice feedback appreciated | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 | I guessing you have removed the driveshaft/torque tube and all mounts. Make sure the transmission in in neutral and shake it up and down and side to side and it should come out. Is the input shaft rusted? You may need to spray it with PB Blaster or Kroil and let it sit for a couple of hours. The input shaft splines may be hanging up on the clutch splines.
Hope this helps.

Maybe you could have a look in there. I wonder if something weird is happening like the front shaft in the transmission is coming out or something. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 | i had one that i used a come along to pull the trans out of the clutch disk. the clutch disk had worn a grove in the trans input shaft and would not pull out. mtneermike
