Thx, Bogie. And have had the Dead on all week.
This transmission can suck my balls. I'm either going to yank the whole engine, or call a tow truck tomorrow to haul the whole thing off.
Problems?
Transmission is completely disconnected, except from the engine. It has basically rotated 90 degrees and is just hanging there. I think I just need to pry it off the engine some more. Once I do, it will just fall onto the ground. Even if I get it out, there is ZERO chance I can get it back in, unless I yank the whole engine, reassemble on the floor, and go back in the top. So right now I'm considering just unbolting the engine and whatever else I need to and lifting the unit out the top. It's either that, or the tow truck to the scraper.
On the bright side, usually when I do stuff like this, nothing goes well and I screw up a lot of stuff. Everything has gone mostly smooth until yesterday when I broke a radiator hose and dumped fluid. That and the transmission just kind of hanging around upside halfway to the floor.

This is by far the most I've ever disassembled a car though, and I'm pretty happy about that. I was excited to be able to get the axles out, as that has always been something I wanted to know how to do. Oh and that jack isn't supporting anything, just looks that way from the picture. Transmission is kind of resting up against the engine stand.
Okay transmission is out. That makes for 45% of the job. I'm going to take a hard look at everything before I open the clutch. I'll probably put the new clutch and release bearing in. If I take my time, I think I can get this thing back in, I just know it's going to be a pain. It doesn't help that everything is filthy and I'm in new territory. Finally, why the heck is the release cylinder inside the tranny? Is that normal?
