gearbox removal
alright fellows, im struggling massively to pull out my gearbox (wrx 1995)..everything is stripped from the box itself.the only thing supporting is the four bolts and dowels. i have obviously got a jack underneath to keep it level however the box seems to be pulling back at the bootom. i cannot see anything catching or still attached. could something be still caught within the box??? it is in neautral as i have connected back in to ensure this......any helpwould be massivley appreciated thanks.

Is the top coming apart? if not drive a small chisel in near the dowels to prise it apart. You can clean up the burr's once apart. If it's never been off before it will be very tight.

It sounds like the release bearing is still stuck on the clutch fork to me! shine a torch in to have a look. If you have 30mm clearance right round the case its all it can be! Are you sure you removed the fork shaft? 10mm allen head cap on the passenger side with the shaft behind? comes out by threading in a m6 bolt and leavering out??
