I'm changing the clutch in my '92 Sierra, but can't get my transmission out of the car.
It's been disconnected from everything according to the workshop manual, but I can't get it to clear the support bracket on the chassis and the engine.

I've heard a few people cut or bend this bracket, or pull out their engine. I really don't want to do either, but have also spent close to an hour trying to find a way to drop it out without success.

How do you guys get this done?

need to rotate it 45 degrees or so towards the drivers side (or maybe the passenger side, can't remember ) but it drops out easily once the square top part of the bell housing can clear the clutch when it's over to one side.

Trim 10mm off the front of the gearbox mount on the chassis.
Gearbox will fall out then.

as per steve, rotate the gearbox and it will clear, its pretty light so its not to hard. I remember it as rotating the top towards the passenger side.

Rotating did the trick. Thanks guys.
I can see it'll be a bitch to get back on the motor, but that's future Rob's problem.
