problem seperating engine from manual tranny

[Gengus]

thank you oh so much boombastic,
i might have been out there trying to pull them apart for quite a few more hours. i will try again on saterday when i have a full day and a few freinds to help out. you said you ran into these hidden bolts when taking out an automatic but i assume they are on the manual transmissions as well?

my auto teacher also didnt know anything about this, i guess cause this is probably the only car set up like that. and like you said it sure wouldve been nice if one of the manuals said something about this, they all say to remove the engine and tranny together but then it just says to remove transmission from engine after its out, nothing about those bolts. not to get off topic but do/did you go to a tech school as part of high school or do a program after high school? im doing it as part of high school and am lovin it.
thanks again
