Does anybody know how to release a shaft from the clutch disc because myne doesn't. It's stuck, I tried everything so far. I bought a new clutch kit and tried to put it on. I loosen everything up to remove the clutch disc and pressure plate. I tried to slide the transmission back, but it just wouldn't. Does anybody live near here in Chino, CA that would help me. I really need help, so this car could be back in the road.

edit forgot model in title

first question, are you taking the torque tube off the bellhousing? or the bellhousing off the engine?

I recommend that you take the torque tube off the bellhousing, now keep in mind though that there are a couple of pins in the bellhousing which line the torque tube up and can become corroded over time and stick the best method imo is to take a 2x4 and hold it on the bottom of the torque tube and smack it a few times with a hammer REALLY hard.

Have you removed the clutch fork yet? It's held by a shaft that's a real pig to remove. Haynes tells you to screw a bolt into the end of it and pull it with a slide hammer or reasonable hand-drawn facsimile. It can be driven out from behind but I think this can only be done with the engine out.
