1995 4 cyl 5 speed.

I'm helping a friend of mine change out the clutch in his isuzu pickup and we can't seem to get the transmission apart from the engine. Pretty sure we have all the bolts out, there is the stud in place for the starter still, but it seems to be catching on the top of the engine on the drivers side. No other bolts/nuts holding it in that I can see. Any tricks to getting this apart?

It was stuck on the top dowl pins. I just had to use a bigger hammer. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

Also, what is the torque on the flywheel bolts?

I just did my '89 Amigo 2.3L a couple weeks ago and getting the tranny off was a serious PITA. I finally got it out by tying a rope around the tranny just before the shifter box, and pulling from the back of the Amigo where I could get my feet on the frame for leverage. In hindsight, there could've been a way to tie it to the rear axle and ratchet it out.

The only thing I got out of the screwdriver method was a broken screw driver.

It wasn't so much a screwdriver method, we used a pickle fork and a crowbar. Not something I'd like to repeat <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> but that bell housing is pretty thick.

I was also thinking about pulling on it from the back, but he didn't have a come-a-long and I didn't think ratchet straps would pull hard enough. Well, the straps he had at least.

This is the 1st time I've dealt with a clutch that wasn't a hydraulic, any tips on adjusting the cable so it's just right?
