Default Tranny removal question

Hi all,

I finally found a used tranny from a junkyard. Me and my buddy pulled it off the car with no problem. But now when I tried to pull my old tranny out of my car, we took everything off, and even counted the number of bolts and we are absolutely sure that all the bolts holding the tranny to the engine have been taken off. What could be still holding the tranny to the engine? It doesn't even move when you try to pry it....

Any ideas?

Wilson.

Default Starter bolts perhaps?

I'm not sure on your car, but some makes have the starter mounting bolts go into the tranny bell housing.

godd luck!

Default Update...

The tranny turns out to be held in by rust. After spraying a liberal amount of WD-40 on the mount the tranny ended up on the ground this morning. It was pretty funny...
