I got the engine/trans out of my car last time I was working on it and began to separate the trans from the engine but ran into a road block. I've searched and found plenty of info on getting them back together, but not much with issues getting them apart.
As it sits I have about a 3/4'' gap between the bell housing and the block, but I can't move it any further. The repair manual states once you have it about 2'' gap you can do the wiggle maneuver and it'll come completely free.
Thoughts? Did I miss a bolt hidden in there somewhere? In the most awkward of ways I tried pushing/pulling them apart but it won't budge. I was thinking of hooking it up to the crane and seeing if I could lift from the trans and let gravity help, but honestly I'm unsure if that'll work either. Unfortunately it's just me working alone so I don't have another person available to help me pull on it.
