I'm still unable to seperate my engine from my transmission after removing the engine to bellhousing bolts. I've disconnected all hoses, wires, mounts, and braces. It is my understanding that i shouldn't have to disconnect any bolts mating the flywheel/pressure plate to the clutch in order to pull the engine out. Does anyone have any suggestions what might still be holding the engine up from disconnecting from the transmission? I wiggled and jerked the heck out of it while it was lifted by a picker, but there is no give from front to back.

 

The dowel pins. They like to freeze up in the bell housing and can be a royal pain to get loose. Spray some penetrating lube on the joint at about the 3 & 9 o'clock positions if looking at the bell housing bolt pattern from the front or back.

 

I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

 

I'm not sure if it was the penetrant or me pulling itwith a truck chained to the cherry picker, but i finally got it to give way. Thanks again.
