Hey, I am in dire need of help. My clutch went out, and I need to be back on the road tomorrow at some point. I have everything taken off and out of the car to get the transmission off, including the driveshaft, crossmembers, all five bolts, starter, clutch cables, shifter, and so on. When I go to pull the transmission out of the engine, it won't budge. I've had another person try to help me, and I even tried being under it and wrestling it. If it was taken off before, did a person possibly put a seal on the bellhousing? I need this taken off as soon as possible, so any suggestions are welcomed. Is there another bolt besides the five obvious ones? I have the 6 speed by the way. Thanks guys.

You either have a bolt still in or aren't supporting the trans properly causing the input shaft to bind in the clutch disc

It will also help to post your threads in the proper forum, this ain't it

If you are under the car facing forward, there are bolts at 1 o-clock, 2, 5, 7 and 7:30, and 9.

Then there are 2 bolts in the brace between the transmission and the exhaust header.

You didn't mention the clutch slave cylinder, it is bolted to the transmission around 11 oclock and has a hard line running from it, so it could provide resistance.

Don't forget the wiring harness that lays on top of the transmission, it's fairly rigid and doesn't have much slack.
