Not when you are stubbornly trying to remove them together! The pilot shaft ALMOST makes it out of the clutch cover before the bellhousing hits the firewall (only about 1 inch shy of coming out). I can't recall exactly why I didn't remove the tranny from the bellhousing, then remove the bellhousing. I'm thinking there wasn't any clearance in the tranny tunnel to get to those bolts. Mine has hex head instead of allen head bolts - and sockets don't fit well around the curve of the tranny. Should be easier this time with the roomier 122 tunnel.

It wasn't very hard to drop the front crossmember and engine as I only had to come down a couple of inches. So I didn't need to undo any connections to the engine or steering. Just unbolted all 8 (surprisingly small) bolts and jacked the body upwards a couple of inches until the tranny could fit out.
