I'm in the process of swapping in a manual transmission. I am at the point of seperating the AODE from the car b. However, even though i've removed the engine-trans bolts, the bellhousing is hitting the underbody and won't clear. And no, the bellhousing can't be seperated from the tranny in the automatics.
I am under the impression that this is because the torque converter is still on the engine and i'm having to move the tranny farther back(which of course leaves no room). I drained the oil in the converter by removing the plug. And I just want to know what my options are of removing this POS auto tranny?
Also, is it possible to remove teh auto w/the converter still on the engine? If it is, i *could* bang up the undercarriage to make room so it clears then worry about the converter afterwards.
