Help the newbie Options

I'm trying to separate my tranny from the engine, they are both out of the car, the tranny just wiggles around.. I had seen a thread on this earlier in the week except I cant seem to locate it now.

The starter is removed and so are the other three bolts. Am I missing something or just a solid application of elbow grease?

Oh, and one other thing: Regardless of what welder you get, get some scrap sheet metal and practice, practice, practice before you even think about actually welding on the car. Any knucklehead can operate a welder, making solid welds with good penetration and minimal buildup is almost an art and requires lots of practice.

Mm
Fortunately(?) both doors are rotted out on the bottom so when I replace those I will have some practice metal from the actual car to screw up.

I know what you are saying about buying good tools. I am a practicer of yiu get what you pay for. I just dont know how frequently I would be using this one after I clean up the damage.
