There are a couple of locating dowels that help align the gearbox onto the back of the engine. They can sometimes "stick" and prevent the gearbox coming away from the engine.

Make sure you have ALL the bolts out, starter motor off. You might need to get into the join with a screwdriver or similar flat implement to gently lever the gearbox away from the engine.

do you have to like twist the gearbox off you is it just straight back with it? had to do the same sort of thing with mine when we were putting the new gearbox in my car.

If you have a 34 gtt and it has a pull clutch you have to release the the fork otherwise it will never come appart .

It will come a little ( 10 mm or so ) and no more , if its a pull clutch .

To release the fork , take the rubber boots ( it should have 2 ) off the belhousing , then using a long nose players or whatever else you have ( even a screwdriver may do ) pull the clip off the fork shaft then push the shaft off and then the box will come off .

Look in the clutch fork hole and see that the fork pivot has a large pin held in place by a cotter pin , pull the cotter pin out and slide the pivot pin out .
