How many bolts hold an 83' manual tranny to the engine, I've got everything undone (at least I think) and I can't get it loose. I took off 4 bolts that sound right? if it is, why can't I get it off?? thanks for the help,

I assume that the bolts that you've removed are the 2 at the top just below the head and the 2 lower outer bolts. These all bolt into the block.

Don't forget the 2 starter motor bolts and some have an additional 2 bolts that hold the tranny to the dust sheild near the bottom. That is all the bolts that I have ever seen and I've pulled many Z-tranies. Hope this helps!

Don't forget to undo the slave cylinder as well.
