Replacing clutch in a 3-speed, 230 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I pulled the transmission yesterday, but it sure seems like there has to be an easier way. The crossmember under the tranny appears to be riveted on, so I had to separate the transmission and bellhousing. I had to loosen the bellhousing to get to the bolts for the tranny, then unbolt the tranny, wrestle the tranny out, and then wrestle the bellhousing out. There is no room for everything to come out as one unit, between the crossmember and the floorboards. I guess the fact that the I6 is pretty long might make space cramped. It was a lot of work just to get a transmission out, is that just how it goes or is there an easier way to get it all out?
