{ Help }
OK, when I finally had hope, I'm stuck. The thing won't back off the clutch/engine housing. It's stuck at about 1/2" backed off, with about a 1/4" worth threads still outside of the engine side, I mean those 2 studs at 3 and 9 o'clock (edit) that need to back out another 2 inches. I don't know if I have the back end or middle lowered too much (how much below or even with the former back mount should it be?) or what? I'm stuck using an elevated floor lift jack (on 4 x 4 covered over with 2 x 10) and with a wood caddy (metal straps around). And to top it off, getting out from under there, I gashed my head.
I worry I'm killing the input shaft. The distributor where the wood block is, is back near where it usually rides already, the wood block is loose (guess that's a factor of the studs backing out already some).
Not sure where is binding. I don't have $100 for the Harbor transmission jack, or any for a rental, so am stuck with this arrangement. I can support the rear with a rope some if needed, might level it some but then rollback is compromised. Given the geometries of how it lifts and where the caddy lays, the jack raises off level a teeny bit, so wonder if the back needs to come up some.
Hard to tell! Don't know if is binding in stud receptors or the shaft. Or if I missed some something (cable?) I have the electrical connector and one vent tube removed (transfer area)
