Need clutch help for 64 f100 w/292 Y Block

[DoubleO7]

Late bloomer into the auto world. I have never worked on vehicles before and I need Help. Pulled 4 bolts out of bellhousing, loosened 2 mount bolts on Crossmember. Should'nt I be seeing movement out of housing? I have a jack under pan so motor wont drop. What am I not doing, or am I missing ?

Thanks

First of all, what are you actually trying to do?

[DoubleO7]

attempting to change the clutch. I have removed starter ect. Removed 4 bolts to tranny. Removed 4 bolts to bellhousing and loosend 2 mount bolts.

[pagliai69]

there are 2 more bolts on the drivers side that connect the shift linkage to the engine which go through to the bellhousing

[cobraguy]

IIRC you should be able to remove the drive shaft, remove linkages, remove 4 trans to bellhousing bolts, remove trans, and replace the clutch through the bottom of the bellhousing.

Thanks Again

You know, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I replaced my clutch, I just barely COULDN'T pull the old clutch out from under the bellhousing. It just didn't clear the crossmember. I ended up cutting a tiny piece out of the crossmember, and then the everything slid out with ease.

Your rubber pads on the crossmember mounts aren't fresh as daisys anymore and like a bag of chips "some settling has occured". I had to loosen mine up and jack the motor up slightly.
