1990 manual transmission

[Bill Houston]

I'm trying to help for a co-worker with a Chevy MANUAL transmission problem.

 

For any of you gearheads who may be able to help, here's the issue.

 

This guy buys a beater 1990 C1500 with a 350 and a 5 spd manual. The tranny is stuck in third gear, so, having a fair amount of "shade tree" mechanic experience, he pulls the tranny, and attempts to take it apart. He says the case is long and "looks like an automatic" because there are not any side or top plates, just the access on top for the shifter. The trans is split longitudinally, and, after removing all visible bolts, he can't get the case apart. He says he can get the halves to separate around a half an inch, but then something interferes with complete disassembly.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
