wtf - 10/14/2007 10:10:30 PM    estraw Posts: 2208 Score: 0 Joined: 12/10/2005 Status: offline i was back at home today and trying to take my trans apart again and i STILL cant seperate the d@mn bell housing from the casing! this is really pissing me off. i had EVERY single bolt outta the ENTIRE casing and it seperates about 1/4 inch from the bell housing and gets held up on something. somebody told me that its supposed to be in neutral to seperate it, anybody know anything about that? i tried putting it in neutral, which is harder then it seems when the trans is sitting in my shed. but no luck yet. any ideas anyone?  _____________________________ Post #: 1
