M5OD Help!

Trying to remove the trans to replace a slave...everything loose and supported and it will wiggle side to side but I cannot get it to scoot back. Any ideas?

My back just hurts thinking about pulling a trans again! Mine fought me last year, I had it going side to side, then up and down a bit. I finally used a spiral motion along with some rearward force, it eventually came out.

See if you can rock it to one side and create a small gap between the trans and engine. Wedge a small screwdriver into the gap just enough so the gap doesn't close up when you rock it to the other side.

If you say EVERYTHING is disconnected then all I can think of is that there is too much weight on the trans input shaft. Try jacking up on the rear of the engine.
Sorry, Thats all I got.
