I'm trying to pull the engine here, but I've got a question. the only bolts between the engine and bellhousing that I could find are 2 on top.
am I missing any bolts, and if so how do I get to them? or would it be easier to pull the 4 bolts between the bellhousing and tranny? | | |

It will would be easier to take the 4 bolts out between the bellhousing and the tranny
You only get one shot at life.
Better have a good aim!

Just need to pull the two bolts in x-over holding in the bellhouse and the front mount on engine. OR, lift out trans first and then the engine and b/house. I use an eyebolt with washers on end with a cut-out to pass over one of the lugs on shifter ball area of trans. I just pass it down into the opening after removing the shifter, turn it to have washers lift up on the two pins in the tower and use picker to lift it and back away from engine, then lower to floor or roller rack to slide out from under truck. We used to lift the trans' at plant with same type tool all day.

actually considered it already, but gave up on it when I saw the front of the trans had a cross member there so I wouldn't have to support it. I'll have to get the gear shift off, and then look the situation over again. | | |
