Can't separate T-56 from Bellhousing...
'97 Formula.
I have the 8 bolts out. I have the engine supported by the oil pan. I've got a floor jack w/ tranny plate under the tranny supporting it.
I shooke the **** outta the tranny but it doesn't seem to want to separate. Am I missing something here?

If I remember... yes they were just 8 bolts.. but you need to line up correctly the tranny.. if its a bit tilted the input shaft will make pressure on the pressure plate and it will not come off... Dont shake the HLL out of it... treat it softly and specially with a tranny lifter

I'm following along w/ the directions from zachz28.8m.com
I've got a jack w/ a tranny type plate thing on it, it's supported pretty well. I was trying to shake it loose heh.
I did remove the clutch cylinder, and pull the fork down.

Well, I've got 8 bolts in my hand, and the fork is pulled out.
Actually 7 in my hand, the 8th I couldn't grab, but, it's out LOL (top right).
What the problem is, is the METAL between the two won't separate. Like, stuck togother! I try shaking, but it won't "crack".

It kinda seems like there's dowels or something, but nothing visible from the outside. I said **** the jack and creeper, and just tried to manhandle it out, I was able to get it to rock a little, pop free to crack open a tiny slot, but, nothing that got it out

I did'nt have a jack, just an extra set of hands but thats all it took...get that weight off the input shaft and get the dowels out of a bind, then it should pop loose
