You don't want to separate it there.I have never taken the t case off one while in the truck so I can't say how much fluid your gonna loose
If there aren't 4 bolts that hold the tranny to the bell then you will have to let the tranny/motor down take the bell bolts out that hold the tranny to the motor then slide it back

[Tappen]

let the motor down???? cant i just take the bolts off that connect bell to motor and slide it all back? and then put new clutch in from front of bell?

[Bills Custom Calls]

You can try but there isn't much room to work a wrench up in there

[Tappen]

well, let the motor down? that seems like a heck of alot of work, im going to take the tcase off now, and try taking bell housing off motor then sliding it all back.

[Bills Custom Calls]

Ok it might work out just fine

[FinsnFur]

I have to re evaluate and possibly retract some of my prior comments and suggestions during this ordeal since seeing that picture, Tappen.
I don't think were on the same page

[Tappen]

whys that jim? haha bad picture?

[FinsnFur]

Just giving ya a hard time. 
Why arent you out laying under that thing?

[Tappen]

i go out, doo what i can, and then i come in and ask my questions  I really wish i had someone here to help me, its quite the task for me to take on.

[Bills Custom Calls]

I am guessing that you didn't get the Chiltons repair manual

[Tappen]

i got the haynes, and ive been using it, and im still here asking questions, heh

[Bills Custom Calls]

Ok Good enough

[Tappen]

boy, t cases are heavy, haha, now to pull the tranny and bell housing off the motor, and man its colt out there 

[FinsnFur]

I dont envy ya, thats for sure. You have to go on the other side of the truck and pull me under by my hands. Then when it was time to go in and warm up and ask questions, you'd have to grab my ankles and pull me back out.

[Tappen]

hahaha, so icant pull it back, as the floor of my cab goes down right behind it, so now i do have to take my exhaust off so i can drop it down, which means what? there is a pipe off each header, driver side one goes under tranny over to passenger where they join into one pipe. but if i undo them both at the headers, it will still be in my way, unless i cut it? as theres nothing else there.

I really do appreciate the help guys, its been great, just please bear with me untill it is done, haha

[Tappen]

On the bottom of the housing where my slave cylinder goes there is a hole for a big big bolt, but no bolt in it. and all the stuff from the road flies up in there, is it suppose to be like that?

[Bills Custom Calls]

probably not

[FinsnFur]

Say whaaaaaat! Take a picture of this hole for a BIG BIG bolt...I wanna, I say I wanna see it.

[Tappen]

now that i have my clutch and everything exposed, how do i know what the problem was

[Bills Custom Calls]

I don't know cause you never said what it was doing the reason you wanted to change the clutch
was the clutch slipping
