Ok, well upon trying to take apart my tranny, I found that I can only get it maybe 3/4 of an inch apart and its stuck somewhere. I dont know where, and Im sure someone knows what im talking about.

Actually taking the tranny apart or do you mean, apart from the motor?

:), Im just being very very careful, but from what I can tell on the inside, its not toooo bad, but its a cool learning experience.

I've done overhauls on several manual trannys but never a dsm one. Alot of timers there are hidden check balls that will hold the cover on. They are usually behind a bolt in the case but make sure you remember where everything goes and you dont loose anything

pr, is what your talking about like bolts with springs holding bearings? Theres a few like that towards the back of the tranny but it seems like its getting stuck in the middle where its already apart.

Do you have a procedure sheet for doing this?

I figured I could find one online, or on the forums, but not at the moment. I just planned on cracking it open and leaving all the gears along for now.
