friend has a 96 z and were getting the trans out cause hes parting it out because he blew th motor so were going to swap the trans in my 78 and we cant get the trans out of his every bolt is out and its discounected form the bellhousing it slides of alittle 3-4 inches then after that we cant get it off no matter what angle or how we wiggle or **** it wont budge any further wtf is the issue

 

Sounds like the input shaft is hanging up on the clutch disc. Maybe the splines on the shaft are worn. You could try wiggling the output shaft while pulling. Or you need to pull the clutch fork off of the throwout bearing.

 

yank the fork away from the TO bearing.

 

Pull the fork off the pressure plate.

 

how do you take the fork off?

 

The swap was very simple, almost a straight bolt on. You will need:
-LT1 T56 with factory clutch, belhousing, and slave/master cylinder -Centerforce 700173 flywheel
-American Touring Specialties clutch master firewall bracket
-G-Force '75-'81 Camaro T56 cross member. (or custom cross member)
-Custom driveshaft
-Pedals out of a 4-speed camaro
-You will need an electric speedo with this tranny (I chose Autometer)
-Speed sensor, reverse lockout, and backup light harness from Ebay

this is what i found i need do i need the wiring harnes or just the conetors? cant find the harness

 

for a 78, try asking on nastyz28's forum.

 

still trying to get it off cant seem to get the clutch fork off dont know y am i missint something? anythi g you have to do special or what besides just yanking not to mention no room as many of yal proboly know

 

Push the trans. back to the bellhousing.

Grab on the fork with pliers. Yank harder this time.

If the outer end of the fork fits within the fork pocket of the bellhousing, then it's not out yet.
