[s-cars] seperating tranny info

[Ron Wainwright]

 Thanx Fred, Yah after looking at it closer I noticed
that grove, & yes rust was keeping it together!! I had
the tranny on a hydrolic jack & was yanking it &
basically flailing away trying to get it to separate,
I lowered the jack, whacked the CV with a rubber
hammer a few times & vwella..separation.
Thanks
Ron
