It's a 94 camaro 3.4L, with a 5 speed manual.....Ive already drained the fluid and cracked the rear seal, taken off the speed sensor, all the mounts are off, the inner console is open, shifter **** off.......why won't it continue to slide off........yes I popped off the vent tube. Help! I need to change the output seal and the interior bushing........so it has to come off somehow. What did I miss? Thanks for the input!

 

If you're referring to the tail housing, I have to ask a dumb question because you didn't mention it...you did remove the driveshaft, right?

 

Yeah man.........that was the first thing I did after draining the fluid, then putting the rear end on jack stands. Its a borg warner tranny m49. I think that I may have found the whats holding it on in the shifter mechanism. There's a pin holding a linkage arm in a large channel on top of the tranny. Have no idea how to remove that pin. Any ideas?

 

Yes it is the tail housing I'm wanting to remove.......sorry, I'm ususlly working on F/A-18 Super Hornets. I'm at a stand-still folks. I'm going to replace the pinion seal on the differential housing for now. I'll check the results in a few minutes.....thanks for the input.

 

Well after all was said and done, Borg Warner calls the part I was removing the extension housing. Commonly known to the shade tree mechanic as the tail housing or rear housing, all that remained to complete the job was for me to tap the pin down until the shift arm was released. I was then able to continue to slide the extension housing off completely. I trust that no one here knew that, considering no one responded. Consequently, I was unaware that the m49 Borg Warner transmission that came with my 1994 Camaro 3.4L is commonly known as the "world class T-5". In lieu of that information, I was able to go to a Ford Mustang forum and download the official T-5 manufacturers PDF instruction on its complete rebuild. Enclosed in those 74 pages was the explanation that the offset shift lever pin, accessible from underneath the arm console and then after removing the shift lever, was to be driven downward until the shifter arm was free to slide back. I know, I know....most people would consider that common sense. However, given that I've never touched any tranny work before, I didn't want to risk breaking anything without knowing absolutely what the procedure was. It was so simple to remove folks! I'll never pay for drivetrain work ever again! Of course, working on 60 million dollar aircraft for several years probably helped me as well. Honestly, if I can do it by following a Haynes Manual (with the help of the PDF file as well) so can you!
