Rokhound Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Did you take the cross member out all the way if you check on the back of the tranny bracket there is a tab that hold the exhaust pipe up that was were mine was hung up. Same thing happen to me the 4x4 tranny fell out and the 2wd would not move so I bet it is that tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 If you're sure you got all the bellhousing bolts off, thread one or two of them back in a bit to act as a safety and push up/down on the tailshaft while pulling it backward...the only thing that could be hanging up is the input shaft splines inside the clutch disc. Wait a minute, yours is a 4.0L right? Did you pull the starter? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88swampedmj Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 yep i pulled the starter, and the crossmember is all the way off.. everything is off. this isnt the first time ive done a clutch.. but it is the first time ive done one on a 2wd tranny i thought it would be easier.. but its making me regret owning this truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokhound Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 that tab is part of tranny not the cross member i only metioned the the cross member because i did not see that tab until the cross member was out of the way i hope you find what holding it in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
