Hey Ian and Frank. Well, today I disconnected every thing else, including the clutch and brake pedals. The clutch pedal would not come off the shaft because apparently some pinhead had beat on the end of it making it sort of like a mushroom. I had to work at it with a mill bastard file (which pretty much describes the job too) for about an hour before I could slide the pedals off the shaft. All that remains to unbolt are the the front and rear motor mounts....and I have to drop the transmission which I can not get to move at all. I thought it would be easy since the tranny is about the size of a cantaloupe! But it won't budge. I'm going to have to do some reading and research to see if I am missing something. The wife is off with her girl friends for the weekend so I can work on the car without any "honey do's" getting in the way of my "fun"! Hope to have both the engine and trans out this weekend. Will keep you posted and will post some pics too. Thanks again for responding. Kim Mc
