    Did you disconnect the pressure plate from the flywheel? Go through the starter hole to do so. Then you can seperate the transmission from the engine. You will have to turn the engine by hand and do one bolt at a time

    is your clutch slave cylinder still attached? with a push style clutch it's easy to just pop the motor/trans apart with the clutch fork doing most of the work. that usually gets it started at least.
    best of luck

    yeah, when i swapped my motor last week, one push on the clutch pedal and it gave us a nice start on the separation process.
    keep us updated

    I always go through the starter hole...every time. I don't like dealing with the problems I come across when I don't. I use a long ratchet and knock it with a hammer. The force is usually quick and sudden enough to bust loose the bolt before the engine even has a chance to turn. If you have problems with that...a prybar / big screwdriver in the flywheel teeth works...or even a breaker bar/socket on the crank pulley to help hold the crank still.

    If you disconnected your battery before you started working on it...hook it back up before checking the clutch pedal. For some reason I did a clutch on an 03 WRX and checked the clutch pedal to make sure it felt good before hooking up the battery and it just fell to the floor. Once I hooked up the battery....clutch pedal was fine. I have no earthly idea why it did this...and still haven't figured it out to this day.
