Subject: [DMCForum] Getting this %^&* transmission out!


It's stuck, or something. I've followed the directions in the manual,
but I can't find the "small metal shields" nor the "flywheel shield".
I've removed the shift linkages, I've removed the three (?) small
starter bolts on the right (left when you're laying under the car,
looking up with your feet sticking out the back), and I've removed
four "main bolts" on the bellhousing, one in each corner. 

I've also removed the mounts on the "nose" of the transmission and it
is free - I can move it around. But it moves the entire engine,
exhaust, etc, with it. I am supporting it with a floor jack.

Are there more than 7 bolts (4 corners + 3 starter) securing the
bellhousing to the engine??? If so, where are they?!? I can't find
them. I just can't budge this thing. Been trying for hours. I've
looked everywhere I can fit my head and felt everywhere I can fit my
hands...

Please help; I need to get the flywheel down to a shop soon to be
machined, otherwise I won't be able to finish this project this
weekend (they'll be closed tomorrow and probably Monday... I only have
a few hours left today to get this thing out...)
