Message:
I have a 1994 2wd v6 Dakota Manual w/ 185k on it and the clutch was making a kind of squeeling in both with the clutch engaged and disengaged. At any rate it finally went and is stuck in the engaged state. I am sure it is the release bearing for I can see balls and other parts in the clutch shroud. I have removed all wires, cross-members, and shifter. The next step in the Haynes manual says "remove transmission" which made sense to me when I found a diagram showing a transmission with a bell-housing bolted to it. On my truck, the tranny and bell-housing are one piece (appears to be bolted from bell-housing side, can see back of threads). I assume I need to remove the slave cylinder then unbolt the bellhousing from the engine. Is this the correct way of removing the tranny. I have the engine supported w/ a bottle jack and piece of wood. How much will I have to tilt the engine to remove the tranny, looks like there is quite of bit of clearance above and behind tranny except bell-housign appears a little tight. Wish I could find a better manual, thanks for your comments.
