Hey guys,
I am finally got enough strength to start on my 727 swap to a 4 Speed Transmission. I have never removed/installed a transmission but tried to read as much as I could before starting. I have apparently missed a step and was hoping to ask what to do next.
So far I have removed the drive shaft. Removed the transmission lines and shift linkages. Unbolted the starter and leaned it back to rest against the headers. Removed the bottom and top transmission bolts. I put a jack under it for support removed one of my exhaust/header bolts so I could unbolt the transmission mount and removed from the car.
I tried to ease the transmission back and it started to move back but gets to a point and will not move back anymore.
Do I need to unbolt the flex plate before removing the transmission? If so how do i spin the plate around to get to each bolt?
