In the process of removing bits and pieces to get Tranny out.

I decided to boroscope the clutch with transmission still attached.

I have proved my theory of bent Clutch housing/pressure plate springs.

I was going to comment a damaged pressure plate as soon as I read the crank pulley story.

I had a similar situation, folks seem to underestimate how tight these bolts can be.

I tried the starter way and blew my main fuse after 6 attempts, fire and lubricant

Being that my car is auto I even used P + ebrake + rear wheels on the floor and nothing

I had to take off the front and hit it with Bertha (heaviest duty 1/2 Impact)

It came off like a 10mm bolt(so upset)


Summary: the force inputted is not enough to damage the transmission regardless of how tight. For example if I would have kept going I would have destroyed the parking gear slot by using a gear.

All jokes aside it you can easily put 300+ lbtq of constant torque on this bolt when taking it off which doesnt seem like much but being that this is tuned bolt on torque numbers we know the stock clutch would likely die in a few pulls.

Maybe a stronger pressure plate would have done better but most likely would have ended the same. Sucks that you had to learn this way.
