I've checked every tutorial, read everything, looked at every diagram & I'm stuck. All four bolts are off, both sensors are out, torque tube is out of the way, EVERYTHING. I have the housing as far back as it will go but it just won't come down or completely off.

Any help?

Did the motor tilt forward when you removed the torque tube? If so, this may be the issue, as there may be less room to remove it.
Try rotating the front of the engine up slightly (pivot it on the motor mounts). This may help.
Keep the faith!

this is the worst engineering I have ever seen dear god who thought it was okay to the transmission this hard to get out & the clutch bell housing this damn hard to get off? It will wiggle around and come out three inches but JUST WONT SLIDE OFF AND DOWN SORRY BUT IM LIVID

fork removed?

odonnell

You will definitely need to remove the fork, a mallet or even hammer will be your friend. Don't go full Clarkson though

clearly you've never seen anything designed by the soviets.

Clutch fork pin needs to come out

jackkthemackk

The fork is removed, the clutch housing slides about 4 inches away from the motor but will NOT clear something and come down.. What is stopping it?

lart951

you mean to tell me that you already pulled the clutch pin and also the clutch fork? did you pulled the speed reference sensor bracket?

lart951

this one

jackkthemackk

Yes, and the negative lead ground from the battery. EVERYTHING

is the driveshaft still in the pilot bearing?

wildcat077

Yes i remember that being a real pain to remove when i replaced my clutch this summer,do you still have the heat insulation in the tunnel area ... that's what was giving me a hard time,especially the upper left,eventually when you get the right angle the cover will come off !

Cheers

It sounds like the BH is up against the upper part of the tunnel. You should be able to move it far enough after you jack the front of the engine up around an inch. Use a block of wood on the jack so you don't damage the oil pan. A rubber or plastic mallet will help convince it to move further as well.

does the cross over pipe HAVE to come off for the housing to come down?
