I pulled my motor i have all the bolts taken off from the tranny to the block. I can get it about an inch off and it won't go anymore. What should I do. I know there is something I am missing I just don't know.

If you can't get the clutch fork out as I couldn't on mine for some reason, unbolt the pressure plate through the access covers and it will separate.

Unbolt the pressure plate through the access covers and it will separate. There is 6 bolts to remove ;) it will come right apart.

You can easily take off the fork by taking off the clip on top of the pivot. just stick a screwdriver in there and twist it and it will pop right off. As I recall the pivot pin should fall down and the fork will be free. Then the tranny comes right off.

all manual I promise guys lol. I am going with the taking off of the 6 bolts from the pressure plate. Thanks guys for all your help. I'll put some pics up asap. But lets just say me and my friend successfully pulled my motor which both of us have never pulled a motor before and it seemed to go ok kinda... A couple scary points but its out and I couldn't be more happy. time for a REBUILD!

You can take off the fork in about 5 seconds seriously. All you have to do is take off the one clip on top and the pin will come out very easily and the fork will fall right off. That's the only thing holding the transmission there.

this is funny. this happened to me yesterday when i pulled my 2jz-ge out of my cressida. the r154 was just wiggling/dangling there stuck and i couldn't figure it out for like 30 mins. we noticed the clutch fork was stuck, so we tried to pry it out more and that was no good. so we unbolted the pressure plate through the cover on the side of the tranny and voila!
