Auto trans removal help
I'm pulling an auto trans and I've hit a snag. I can't get the coupler that attaches to the torque tube to rotate. Beyond that I also don't know what to do with the back part of the coupler that is attaches the the trans. I know there are a few 13mm bolts and I have removed 2 of them but I just have no idea where to go from here or how to get the couple to turn so I can get to the bolt. I've tried putting the car in nuetral and drive to rotate it but nothing. Anyone have a write-up or advice? I'm getting slightly pissed at all of this. Thanks in advance.

Axles have been removed. The engine, trans and driveshaft are all still in the car.

Maybe put a socket on crank pulley and turn with a ratchet? In theory it should turn right?

Have you tried putting a socket and breaker bar on the front pulley bolt to turn the engine and thereby the torque tube?
I see zedsn and I think alike.

We all think alike, that was actually my next plan for tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how it goes. An auto trans is so different from a manual trans and I have no idea what to unbolt to make the bugger come out. I can do a manual un about a 45 min but this is rediculous.

When I took my auto out, I removed the spark plugs so the engine was easier to turn over. This may help.
