Flywheel cover thing and starter. If it hasnt partially seperated you have a bolt somewhere holding it on.

You might be able to get a screw driver or prybar behind the flywheel and pry the tranny off that way. it might take a few tugs before it breaks loose... Or, if your 100% sure there are no more bolts, take a small screwdriver and tap it between the tranny case and the block. That should break it free.

Don't use anything hard, use a wood or rubber mallot and give it a few GENTLE wacks to losen the seal. Aluminium is great for weight but not for strength.

I'll try the prybar flywheel technique.
I expected it to come apart pretty easily but it had other plans.
thanks again guys

it should come apart easy, i bet you misseda bolt, how many bolts did you remove? remember there is a bolt that is kinda hidden on the back side of hte block that holds the block to the tranny.

are you referring to the bolt right by the axle? I got that beach. Ill pry bar it tomorrow. if that doesnt work im gonna give it a good bash with a mallet. if that doesnt work im gonna push it off my roof.
