block removal from tranny?

[boosted86]

ok, well i was pulling out my motor today and seemed to run into a little problem, first of all iv removed my head , all upper intercooler pipes, ac- compressor, pulleys,(basically everything on the timming belt side)starter motor,etc... im down to just the block and tranny, i removed all outer bolts on the tranny,and the block seemed to to come apart about two inches,however that as far as it will go, it looks like its connected by the flyweel or somthing, so basically how do i remove the tranny from the block,(should have just said that in the begging)thanks for all the help.

When I separeted the block and the tranny, I dropped them both together, and then separated them. I just used a pry bar and wedged them apart. There weren't any bolts or anything holding them together, just the tranny was stuck on pretty good. Make sure your block is supported, and then I'd say just pry them apart. It shouldn't take much force, just more than you can put on it by simply pulling yourself.

A pry bar is your friend.

Just make sure that the block is supported, because you don't want it falling off the car and cracking itself, the floor, or worse, your foot.
