Stuck!

Hey Ya'll,

I recently got a 87 supra turboed with a blown head gasket. I started working on it and everything is out of the way of the engine and I cannot get the transmission to let go of the engine. I can get a gap between the motor and tansmission of probably and inch but then itll just slide back together. A friend told me to make sure the clutch is engaged.Also the manual directions have beenfollowed to a t. Anybody got any ideas please help.

thanks

it's easiest to pull with the transmission attached... if you think pulling it apart in the car is bad, you might want to start thinking about how bad putting it back in is going to be.

cant offer much other advice than make sure the transmission is being supported at the same angle and speedo cable is disconnected... same for the wiring.
