Sparky52Dodge Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 I need help. I can't seem to get the trans and engine seperated. Quote
NiftyFifty Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 at what point are you trying to separate them? I'm guessing the actual trans to bell housing? If you have the 4 main bolts out (from what I recall) and the emergency brake cable off and drive shaft, you may just need to use some light prying around the trans to pop it out of the bell housing, and it may also be a little stuck in the pilot bushing etc. Try turning the trans a bit too clockwise and counter Quote
Desotodav Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 I feel for you Sparky as I had the same problem in separating the 3 speed box from the bell housing in my 53 Fargo truck. I'm not sure whether the the shaft was stuck in the pilot bushing or the clutch plate was rusted to the shaft. Problem is that it's hard to get any penetrating fluid into the area where it is stuck! I managed to free them up with quite a bit of prying and a lot of spraying around of penetrating fluids. I hope it works out for you. 1 Quote
Sparky52Dodge Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 I think I figured out what I am doing wrong. Will try today after work. Thank you. Quote
