i am in the process of taking my tranny off of my 02 blazer... i have taken off the y pipe, starter, drive shaft, and all the 15m bolts around the tranny to the engine... idk what else i have to take off i started pulling the tranny i got the bottom of it to come off like a half an inch but the top looks like something is holding it idk... i dont know a whole lot about this type of stuf but im very mechanicly inclined and low on money so im trying to do this myself i idk what else to do on it any help would be nice... the reason im taking the tranny off is to change the slave cylinder....

 

ok so noone has replied with any help yet but i have still been working on this i have the tranny coming off all the way around except for the top left side by the oil filter something is holding it and idk what it is do i have to take off the oilfilter???

 

Did you remove the line going to the slave cylinder??

 

I just pulled my tranny(automatic) yesterday and it was a pain cause it was stuck.
Its been almost 20 years since doing this stuff. I had pulled and rebuild 6 or so turbo 350's and 400's and the tranny always about fell off.

No amount of yanking, wiggle etc.. would budge it. I sprayed the pins with PB blaster, may have helped idk. Ended up using a chisel in several spots to gently get a gap started. Then a large screwdriver gently tapping to pry it loose. Had to do one side then the other a bunch of times. The pins were rusty and made it super tight.
This was on 1999 4wd blazer.

Just a note...there are a couple places on the oil pan you don't dare pry against or you might break it.
