Help Asap!!!!
ok first off i need to have my car done by tommarow morning. right now im in the middle of my b16 tranny swap. im positive everything is unbolted/disconnected. but i spent 3 hours last night trying to disconnect the damn bellhousing from the block. its all gullded up, ive went thru half a can of PBblaster and broken a small tab on the tranny casing trying to pry this mother off, im just looking for some suggestions fast, cause i need my car tomarrow (carlisle) and any help is greatly apppriciated.
i dont understand why this is so hard because an ACT clutch was installed not even 4000 miles ago, but all the tranny bolts were overtorqued but not stripped
thanks,
nick

did you take the flywheel cover bolts off?
there are a bunch of brackets connecting the tranny to the block underneath by the oil pan.
i'd say 2 brackets you may of missed those, there are also i believe 6 big bolts connecting the tranny to the block.
you did remove the axles right????
