Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Separate 5600 from 6BT?

[RNull]

Greetings.

I am trying to shoehorn a 6BT/NV5600 into a swap vehicle. My hoisting capacity is exceeded by the combo. I figure I need to separate the gearbox from the motor to get it in. But, I'm looking at the pair and I see that there doesn't seem to be any exterior bolts at the bellhousing to transmission connection, except 6 along the bottom curve from about 4:00 to 8:00. Am I correct that I need to split them apart at the front of the bell (where it mates up the the 2. 5" thick translator plate? Is there anything to watch out for? Thanks in advance.

You don't seperate the transmission and bellhousing. Just the bellhousing from the engine adapter plate.

Excellent. That's what I figured. I just wanted to make sure there were no quirks. Thanks for the info.
