All the bolts out?

What kind of motor and trans? We can tell you how many bolts you should have to remove.

Well I got out

3 converter bolts
2 bell housing by oil filter
2 by the starter
2 on top

I can lift the motor and the tranny pulls up a little but it seems stuck

Thanks

That's the correct number of bolts...

Sometimes the dowel pins between the motor and trans get stuck. Try using a screwdriver or something to pry them apart. Don't forget to have the trans supported by a jack or whatever, it will fall out if it's not.
