I have a dilemma that is baffling me...... I replace a clutch disk, pilot bearing and throwout on my 53 3800 4 speed ...all stock I checked the fitting for the clutch disk and pilot bearing and were correct I used the proper tool to install pilot bearing and had the proper clutch alignment tool I installed everything and realized I had to pull transmission back out to install shifting fork Truck was never stared The transmission is NOT coming back out and seems to be bound on something...I can spin it freely but will not come more than 1/4 inch out .... Any ideas on what may be happening here Thanks Dan
How big of pry bars did you use to try to remove it? (and you did remove the two lower bolts from inside the bellhousing, right?
Squirrel , Yes all four bolt are out , like I said out an hour before this and it spins so I could get a BIG pry bar on it ... Thanks Dan
Ok , I had a friend come over and we decided to remove the bolts on the pressure plate and pull it all back to see what we were dealing with ...once we could see the disk we took a flat screw driver and gave the disk a little pry and that loosened everything up and it came out ...
