Pulling the tranny - '81 8V

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

make sure ALL the sheet metal bolts are out. Even the one thats up and to 
the rear of the motor. That will hang it up as well.

Just give a good grunt and pull. It should slide out.

I would rather pay the 50$ extra and get a good clutch kit. Its a PITA to 
change so do it once and forget it.

As for the seals? Call Mark & Dave for a seal kit. It has every thing you 
need.

Good luck!
