Was trying to do this today and all I was getting was a split 2x4. Decided to give up for the day and think of another way tomorrow. Maybe a small jack or some type of a reverse toggle bolt system??
Then after I put all the tools away and cleaned up, I read the checklist I printed out and read that I needed to remove 6 bolts from the tranny to the engine. I checked out my magnetic parts pan and only saw 5! ARRGH!
Found #6 hiding down in the bottom left recess and now realize that an even number of bolts makes a whole lot of sense structurally too.
Having all the bolts out should help....I think!
