transmission stuck to engine I removed 8 bellhousing to engine bolts. Triple checked and could not find any more bolts. It seems to be stuck on the dowel pins. Has anyone else had this problem before ? This is on a M6.
That can't be right. If you lift on the tail of the transmission it should flex. If not there is either another bolt in the very top that is a SOB to get to, or you will need to just play with it alittle to break it free.
first time pulling it apart? you'll get that
I always use a pry bar, or even a flat blade screw driver and gently work it on both sides to push it away, and then slowly work it back, both sides just a bit at a time
the dowl pins are on the bellhousing into the trans, you sure you unbolted the trans or the bellhousing?
incase you do this again, sand down the dowl pins before putting everything back together.

You can pull it without the Bell Housing..that's how I do it. You may have to get a small Pry Bar and break it loose.
That's for the LT1 T56.. you won't be able to get to the Slave with the LS T56.

Yup, mine was a major PITA. Pull the tranny off the bell housing first, makes manuvering things a bit easier. Your bell housing is stuck because you probably have some corrosion built up on the bellhousing dowles. Mine were horrible, make sure you have all the bolts out and try to pry it off everywhere you can a little at a time. My passenger side was really stuck, dont pry all in one area at a time or you might crack the housing. good luck

Thanks for all the replies. Finally got it apart. Sanded the dowel pin holes alittle. Maqde it awole lot easier putting back in. Now the problem is the slave is not disengaging fully. I've bled a big bolttle of brake fluid through it and still can't shift into gear with the engine running. I can get a good feel on the peddle, but as soon as engine is running, loose peddle. Going to try and bleed some more.
