Starter help!

[LaserRed_Snake]

Ok so after 4 months of having my cobra down due to a bad transmission, I have now taken a few hours to remove it. The only thing is my Damn starter is stuck and won't come out. I've taken all 3 starter bolts and nothing doesn't even budge. When my transmisson first messed up it stayed in first even while in neutral. Do you guys think I have to depress the clutch first to release it from gear and then try it? I'm pretty lost at this moment.
Thanks
Sorry if this has already been asked before.

Take the trans all the way out, that starter will come out. Try hitting it with a dead blow hammer a few times. All the times I've had my transmissions out I've never had this happen.

It should fall right out. Check for 1 more bolt. I cannot remember if 3 or 4 bolts. One is. Abitch and you have to come in from the front of engine with 18" extension. IIRC

Thanks guys have to recheck all bolts again. If not I'll just pull It all together.

It is definitely only 3 bolts, but you need about 3' of extensions, not the 18" I mentioned above. I think I got the longest extension Sears sold, then added on. That top bolt is a real bitch. If you didn't really fight it, then you didn't pull the right bolt. Much easier the second time.
