The cluch line.... Do not cut its $90.00 new, do you see the little plastic ring on end it should be white and the clip should be blue. Slide the whit ring forward into the blue clip, use two screw drivers or go purchase the 5.00 tool for fuel and trans. lines. Once you get the white clip pushed in all the way push in on the hose and then pull, the, male end should pull out. Keep trying its a pain.
And for sepperating the tranny! I don't know what you have off or disconected but. Make sure you have the driveshaft off and the shifter assemble apart. It might be easier to put the tranny in first then let the knob fall threw the rubber boot. If all 8 bolts are out of the trany then simple use a large screw driver of crow bar to seperat the tranny from the block. Any problems or questions you can call me .. (937) 520-3750 Dave
