Alright, thus begins the repair work on the trans.





First off I attacked the big plug on the end. The impact was starting to deform the square in the plug, so I hit it with the torch for about 30 seconds, and it came right out.





Inside, you'll find a retaining ring. This ring must be spread so the bearing can come out of the case.





A snap ring pliers works well and is what I used along with some tape to hold it. The retaining ring must be held spread open as you pull the case off, so you'll need some help or something to hold it open.





Next up was to remove all the bolts holding the transmission case to the bell housing.





While working your way around the case, you'll come to this bolt. The shifting mechanism must come out to get it out. Remove the bolts and pull it out.





Finally, you'll need to remove the ball detents before pulling the case off. These come out pretty easy, but be careful of the steel balls on the ends. On mine, I used a magnet to pull them out.







With those things done, the case should be ready to come apart. There is a nice spot for prying by the clutch arm. Some fiddling around with that retaining ring may be necessary.
