A little help with engine removal...
So last weekend I decided to finally pull my engine so I could replace the head gasket that went back in March. I started taking everything apart, and everything was going more or less OK, until I got to the point where the engine had to separate from the transmission so it could come out. Here is the car as it currently sits:
 I removed everything holding the engine and transmission together, but I can't get them to separate no matter what I do. What am I missing here? Is there some kind of trick to this that I don't know about?

Re: A little help with engine removal...
Did you separate the engine mounts from the crossmember?

The tranny was upgraded to a 4:44 less than 2 years ago, and the car has probably seen ~10k miles since then, so it shouldn't be seized in there or anything like that. I just can't figure it out.

Re: A little help with engine removal...
It may help to loosen your tranny mount. I suspect the transmission is restricting the engine from lifting enough to clear the bushing studs from the crossmember. You need the studs to clear so you can slide the engine studs (threaded into the bottom holes on the backside of the engine) out of the bellhousing on the trans.

Re: A little help with engine removal...
BFH, flathead screw drivers of various sizes, and prybars... Even if the engine and trans were apart just months ago, unless you put antisieze, and even if you did, it still will sieze back together. Its just what happens when you mix aluminim and steel
