Remove bell housing - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

And advice removing the bell housing? I removed all the bolts and tried sticking in a flat head screw driver and hammering it, and it wouldn't work. I even tried heating it up to melt the gasket seal, and it won't even budge...

Suggestions?

you sure you got all the bolts? A couple are somewhat hard to find.

Did you take off the shifter and shift cover plate? I did not find it necessary to do more than a couple taps with a mallet to knock mine loose.

Yeah the tranny is out of the car, and i rolled the tranny all the way around to make sure all the bolts are off... I guess I'll just keep hitting it till its loose.

There is one bolt inside the bell housing as well, did you remove that too? You might need to dig through a little clutch goo/dust to see it.

Ah hah! I didn't remove that one, thanks!
