Im currently putting a centerforce clutch into my 04 taco (5VZ-FE, R150F) and for whatever reason i can not get the tranny to slide back.

Things i have removed/unbolted:

-5spd stick, and 4wd stick
-wiring harness
-front driveshaft
-rear driveshaft
-plumbing and slave cylinder
-bellhousing bolts, including the 2 bolts to the starter
-the 4 bolts on the engine side of the tranny, and the clutch cover they hold on.


Im using a small hydraulic table as a tranny jack and i have the transmision about as close to level as it could get, but after pushing and tugging and prying i cant get the damn thing to budge, i even tried letting the back end sag down a bit to loosen the front up.

Somebody who has done this before, what am i forgetting???

 

Cross member?

 

Did you take off the corssmember as Fo-runna said? You should have 4 12mm bolts holding the rubber mount to the cross memer, as well as 4 14mm bolts/nuts holding the cross member on.

 

my guess is cross member...
