How to separate tranny from the block?

[Markbdr90]

Anyone know how I can remove the tranny from my 02 EP3? I have removed every bolt that holds the trans including the mounts. There's already a gap between the engine block and the tranny and it looks like the tranny is rotating around a center shaft. I have been wiggling but to no use. Any ideas?

Did you get the one at the starter? He's pretty stealthy.

If you're sure they're all out the all the trans is riding on is the input shaft and the dowel pins. Make sure it's properly supported and slide it laterally until all that stuff is disengaged. I found it very helpful to have both the motor and the trans on (independent) jacks so you can tilt the motor down on the driver side to allow the trans to clear the body.
