tranny extraction
I am attempting to remove the 700R4 transmission from my 1985.I have the 3 flexplate to torque-con.
bolts removed and everything else discoed, yet I cannot seperate the transmission from the engine.
From my manual, it looks like there were only 6 transmission to engine connecting bolts. Am
I missing a bolt,or is there some special procedure to drop the tranny,while leaving the engine in place?
Thanks for the help.

Re: tranny extraction (Kacarot)
did you get the top two hard bellhousing to block bolts? you might have to rock the rear of the tranny back and forth to break the seal away from the block.

Re: tranny extraction (88L98)
First of all,thanks for your response. When you mention the' tough to get' 2 top bolts,is this in addition to
the 6 already removed?(I had to use 2 long extentions and a universal socket to remove the 2 uppermost(that I
could see anyway) bolts from under the car). I already tried rocking the tranny, but the bellhousing is still TIGHT
against the block. Any more insight?

Re: tranny extraction (Kacarot)
-k-, there are 2 dowels that locate the engine to transmission. The dowels are (I believe) between the lowermost 2 bolts on either side. Sometimes these are a interference fit, so it may take a little more rocking. Most likely, the tranny is hung up on this.
Disconnect the distributor cap, or you will smash it against the firewall when the engine tilts back after the tranny lets loose.
Disconnect the torque convertor lockup harness on the Drivers side. It looks like an IAC valve connector (4 pins)
Disconnect the TV cable, otherwise you will be buying a new one.
Disconnect the shifter linkage from DS.
Disconnect the VSS sensor.
Remove the 2 long bolts that locate the extension housing
Most likely, it is the dowels holding the tranny to the engine. -Matt-
