Thanks. Larry
Are you supporting the engine as dictated in the steps in the factory service manual? (Are you even following the procedures in the manual or are you just unbolting stuff till it falls down?)
Ted
I kept the engine and trans supported. ( no manual) The transmission did come down finally. It had to roll counterclockwise and end with the pan flat on the jack. I guess it will go back together that way too although that is not a well balanced position as most of the weight is at the topside. I still wonder if removing the exhaust pipe that runs across the top of the Bellhousing would be any better.

That's the same thing I had to do with mine. It takes some finagling, but it finally goes in and out. It helped me to take the front motor/transmission mount all the way off.
