I'm stuck on what i believe to be the last two bolts on the bellhousing with everything that i know of out of the way im up to the third bolts up on the bellhousing and i can't even break them loose with 1long extension a swivel followed by another long extension. it just wont budge. any pointers to use? i do have a jack under the middle of the tranny with it lowered pretty low down.

Are you talking about the last two at the top? Have you tried coming in from the other side with a wrench? I did that and it seemed to work for me.

are you trying to take it out attatched tot he bell houseing? if so thats the hard way, take the trans off where it bolts to the bellhouseing. Use a bigg extension and breaker bar

ok i took off the trans from the fly housing but i actually cant get the trans off. my dad is blaming it due to the release fork. hes saying its not coming off of the throwout but i dont even know what it could be. im thinking that the trans is a little out of angle compared to the engine what do you guys think?

Yeah you have to pull the fork off the TO bearing...all you do is pull down the same direction the fork is pointing and you will feel it come off the TO..
