I am having a really hard time getting my SM465 tranny out. I think I have everything disconnected: front and rear drive shafts, Cross member unbolted (trying to remove the transfer case and tranny together) Speedo cable is off, two other electrical wire plugs disconnected, the shift lever is removed and all four bolts from the bell housing to the engine are out. I just need to slide it backwards to replace the clutch but I can barely budge it. I have three floor jacks to support everything and tried raising an lowering the everything to get it to move but nothing is working. Any ideas? I think I'll separate the tranny and transfer case and maybe that will help.
