The exhaust moves with the trans and engine so jacking it up does not add additional clearance.

 

If you say you can move it with a pry bar i dont see why it wouldnt move a little depending on how many exhaust mounts there are..

 

Did what I should have done last night. I did take the trans loose from the mount, gave me the clearance I needed.. It def dropped the pipes just enough to get the pan out..

 

Your Y pipe looks good John

 

I can relate

My old exhaust vs my new exhaust:

 

Next time try pull the bolt holding the trans mount to the cross member and lift up the trans at the tail shaft area.... Worked great on the last one I did.

 

Opps I just saw you already did that... LOL

 

LOL yah I did it, to god damn bad that wasn't the fix to the prob, so I have 3-4 hours in this hog, 42 buks in solenoids, no fix.. F$^& G567 SH^T $%^&*

 

Could be Worse... Could be a Ford or worse yet a Dodge...

Seriously though If its not shifting on the 3-4 Its probally the clutches or the Band... I think Your gonna have to Open it up...

Thanks man

Well ima call a friend tom, ask some questions.. It is just to odd, that the bands/clutches would just stop like this imo.. I got it to go in a few times while manually shifting it, when they did shift it went in find, no slipping. The oil looked great, it is a bone stock truck with 72k on it. His wife drives it, when she does she babys the hell out of it..
