[quote=”jeffrey” post=42876]I just did this to a 98 S10! (my first time too) There’s a thin inspection plate on the face of the tranny that won’t let the two come apart until you take it off. Its easy. Just a few small bolts…but the edge of the flywheel hangs on it.[/quote]
Yup, I did that. I’m gonna do what college man suggested and totally remove both motor mounts as soon as I get home. Then I’ll jack up the tranny at the front and hope for the best.
I presume you had to lift the engine a little first before pulling, to clear the brace in front of the oil pan?
[quote=”college man” post=42870]see if this link helps.

It sure seems like it will. I guess I’ll have to pop them both off. Clearances are a bit tight, I may have to purchase a swivel socket (I’ve been getting by with a swivel adapter up to this point). I’ll give it a go this afternoon and report back. Thanks!

Yeah, I tried to drop the tranny, but a) I couldn’t get the clutch fluid cable out and b) there are several bolts under the shifter boot, but I couldn’t get the shifter boot out because the geniuses at GM decided to screw it into the floor and lay carpet over the screws -.-” so it looks like jacking the cab is the way to go. I’m just worried about tearing some cable or something and it never going back together. Not to mention I don’t have a jack nearly tall enough. I’m afraid something like that is way beyond my skill set. I’m a complete mechanical noob. To put things in perspective, the biggest job I’ve ever undertaken was repairing the starter in my other car. It’s located right at the front of the engine so it’s easy to get to. It took me six hours. Not including the Home Depot run when I broke a bolt on the end of the starter during reassembly.
