Re: Putting a clutch and transmission wont seperate
You need to lift the rear of the engine about 2"then wiggle the transmission while pulling out the idle shaft from the flywheel.in other words keep the trans/engine in a straight line when pulling apart.....

Disconnect wires and sensors from above (under the hood). Raise car. Disconnect wires and sensors underneath the car. Support the engine and transmission. Loosen or disconnect some motor mounts. Remove the bolts that hold the engine and transmission together. Remove bolts that attach clutch to flywheel. Seperate engine and tranny. Remove clutch. Installation in reverse.
Better directions given if you say what car you're asking about.
Hi :) Sound like a rebuild is coming. The transmission in that truck is 4L60-E and they have a habit of doing this from ware. What happen's is that the pressure regulator and boost valves get sloppy in the pump and the pressure drops and burns out the 3-4 clutch pack and another thing that can happen if there is not any burnt smell to the fluid is a steel 1/4 inche ball could have got stuck in the valve body seperator plate and is not allowing fluid pressure against the 3-4 clutch pack piston.Take it in to transmission specialist he might be able to save it.
You'll need to remove the axleshafts. Remove the battery and tray. Disconnect the clutch and shifter from the transmission. Unbolt the starter from the transmission. Support the motor and place a jack under the transmission. Disconnect the transmission mount. Remove the bellhousing bolts and unplug any connectors, also remove the insepection cover. Seperate the transmission from the motor, move the transmission back to get the input shaft out of the clutch disc and lower the transmission down.
At the top of the transmission where the hydraulic clutch cylinder rod is attached, you have to remove the lever from the shaft (14mm nut), because the clutch is the 'PULL' type pressure plate bearing system. After you remove the trans, you will need to remove the bearing from the pressure plate and put it back on the input shaft collar in the trans before reinstalling the trans.
Im assuming its 5speed, just remove the cables/line, no need to remove the clutch fork out to separate the tranny from the motor, clutch fork only work the throw-out bearing, it stay with the transmission; it little stubborn sometime for both to seperate from one another. just make sure the tranny is well balance and not hanging from the motor while trying separate the two. it will be very difficult trying to pull the tranny away from the motor if its not on the correct level and height and must not have no weight on the transmission shaft. You have to slide the tranny straight out and level from the flywheel, tranny shaft has to come out straight and same way when reinstall.
well we could just lie and tell you what you want to hear but that wont help you... did you smell anything when this happend, if you lost a spring in the clutch plate this is what could happen.. but im speculating at the moment with out seperating the engine and trani..
that is where i would start, dont put the trani in the grave befor you see if it has a heartbeat, check things out a little more before panicing.
try putting the clutch in and putting in gear as you strat the car see if it will go in gear, my gut says you may have a clutch problem but you need to test a bit more before i can say for sure...
good luck please post comments if you have more info for me to chew on.
first the engine does not need to be removed, a engine support bar is placed over the engine bay and hooked to the engine while the transmission is dropped, the clutch is bolted to the flywheel on the engine side and not on the transmission, if you are requesting info on how to seperate the transmission from the engine then you will need to support both engine and transmission equally so that there is no hang up between the transmission input shaft and the clutch splines, also be careful not to cause any damage to the pilot bearing or it will be harder to remove later, then use a pry bar between the two, being out of the car could be a bit more tricky,
