Just returned from pick and pull empty handed,I found a t-5 in 88 s-15 GMC.Proceded to harvest it,pulled 4 bolts from tranny to bell housing,crossmember,driveshaft,shifter,striped off all the supports, shuold slide right out?Wrong.Comes out About 1/8-1/4 and stops-acts like maybe some kind of retainer or something in the bellhousing,is there? So I proced to pull all the bell housing bolts=bell slids about 1/2 and stops.I don't consider myself to be a amature wrench turner,matter of fact unless it involves having vehicle hooked to computer I do all my own work. I looked this tranny and bell over and over and it is clean should fall out.What am I missing?or do I need a bigger prybar.So anyway it started to rain/snow and I forefit to S-15. Has anyone else ever had this problem,Could the splines on the tranny be siezed to disk? As always Thanks for Help/input

is the clutch arm /throw out bearing fouling on the bad heavily worn clutch (fingers)??
OR the clutch face might be rusted to the flywheel...
time to get the BFH out

Thanks for the replys

So the first one must have had some sort of problem in the bell housing.This one was a little cheaper too,50.00 not bad.The only trouble i have is when i go in thease self service yards i always spot a hand full of other items i gotta have and leave spending a whole bunch more than i planned,funny my wife does the same thing every time she enters a Walmart.Any way thanks for the input and help Aaron | | |
