transmission removal problems...

[88lxi-shortram]

ive remover every bolt that i could see the are cloes to the block and trans but the trans wont come off... does anyone know what all bolt need to come off

[A18A]

all the ones into the block, the rear mount, the flywheel cover from underneath, and probably one of the starter motor bolts

[88lxi-shortram]

the flywheel cover? i didnt see it... you wouldnt happen to have any pics of one do you? or a good description

[A18A]

it's just a black cover that goes under the mount underneath the gearbox, 3 mount bolts & 2 10mm ones and it comes off

lol so i got it off but... i cant get it back on.. is there an easy way to put it on?

[2drSE-i]

The trans or the flywheel cover?

[88lxi-shortram]

both. from wat ive determined the plate need to be slid up into the trans whil im slipping it on... im probably wrong so any wisdom is great

[88lxi-shortram]

Bump?

nah chuck the plate on after you got it bolted to the block, since your motor is out of the car, tip it on its side so the cam side is on the ground and the flywheel/clutch facing up, that will make getting the gearbox on easier, just wriggle the fuck out of it till it falls into place

Lmao ok I'll give it a try on Monday. It might be easier to do it when it's in a hoist no?

[A18A]

nah when it's on a hoist it swings all over the place, easier to just tip the motor on its side so all you have to do is drop the gearbox on lol
