For some reason I can't remove the awd transmission. I've taken every single bolt and nut possible yet the transmission won't budge. I have also tried prying but no luck. Please, this is stressing me out.

Triple check that all the bolts are removed and the starter is removed.
Hang the engine with a cherry picker with the transmission angled towards the ground. Wiggle the transmission till it comes loose and falls off of the engine. Use some common sense and only hang it and inch off the ground, and not 4 ft. --------------------  I will return one day. |

Getting that trans off is a huge pain in the ass. Do what jeff said and keep at it. Its probably going to take a few min of trying to pry it before it starts to come loose.

i got mine off with a screwdriver and a rubber mallet. gently pried it, though its def not the best idea
there tends to be bolts in a awkward place. check all around the the tranny/block mating area. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

The trick was......
I went to Bally's and benched a few sets and got my arm curls in. Then I shot up on some steroids and got my friend to slap me in the face. And of course roids rage kicked in and I just grabbed the tranny and ripped it out. lol... -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
