Hey everybody

The M46 in my 88 240DL has been leaking lately, and yesterday it seemed to rupture pretty badly, making the leak a lot worse. So today, I decided to pull the transmission to replace the seals because I already had them on hand from FCP. I got through just about everything, and I even was able to comfortably negotiate the top bolts on the bellhousing. However, now that the trans is disconnected from the engine, I can't get it out. It'll move back a few inches, but then the little bubble for the starter on the bellhousing hits the floor pan, and I can't get back any farther. I have tried to rotate it, but it won't go that far. I'm pretty stumped on this one, so any help would be appreciated. This is my first time removing a transmission, so it's entirely possible I've overlooked something simple. Thanks guys.
