Trans removal help.... Quick!!
well my clutch blew apart after 1100 miles the other day and my car is already jacked up because i just put my hooker sidepipes on!! So i figure I may as well pull the trans to put a new clutch in today and start my trans rebuild. I have a muncie m21 and i am not sure how to get it out. Before I had my vette i had a 68 camaro (sold it but miss it alot) with a M21 and i pulled that one myself and put it back in. The camaro had a cross member that you could completely unbolt and remove, but the corvette has one that is welded on. I see where you can unbolt the mount but the cross member is still in the way. Can anyone give me a step by step to get this thing out so I can put a new clutch in and rebuild the muncie. This thing needs to get back on the road so I can hear my sidepipes with the JCl baffels :chevy

Also, you have to rotate the trans 90 degrees clockwise to get it back far enough to clear the bellhousing.
Just pulled mine today.

Take off the shifter, diconnect the driveshaft, follow trw's tip and rotate the tranny. I didn't pull the yoke but I think it gives more space if you do. I did it on my back in the driveway with no room at all. I am having some bad flashbacks thinking about it.......

I know where you are comming from. I have bad memories of holding up my trans with one hand and trying to push it back with the other on my Camaro. Man I am about to start, wish me luck.... any last pointers.... do I take off all of the shifter assembley
