Anyone know anything about a "special tool" to separate the engine and automatic tranny?

Anyone got a picture or better yet one I can borrow?

You shouldn't need anything special but a little gentle persuasion. Normally they will seperate easily, the only thing that interferes are 2 steel dowels.

Vette(s): ......
you might want to remove the flywheel to torque converter bolts,that way you wont mess up the front seal in the tranny,that and the bell housing bolts,spray a little pb blaster around the dowel pins,and they should loosen up ,then you should be able to break the engine and tranny apart

Unfortunately, she has control of the checkbook...spent a year in Iraq and when I got back, decided I didn't want the budget back... she can handle it.  I'm still working on it....
