I pulled the radiator and fan. I would rather not pull the radiator support unless it is no big deal to do so. Will it clear if I pull as a unit?
Of the 4 bolts holding the trans to the clutch housing the 2 bottom bolts are broke off, even with the case, it seems as they are guide pins put guess they are broken bolts,
The trans is "welded" on.
I was thinking of putting a strap on the tail of the trans and another on the rear axle with a come along in the middle, applying rearward pressure and tapping the trans, I have been applying penentrating oil.
Any other suggestions if I can not pull as a unit would be appreciated.
Thanks much. | | |

You will probably have to use a tilt sling to get it at the right angles to clear as your removing it. As Cletis stated, remove the lower cover and remove the bolts from inside the bellhousing. Fred
