Hello g37 people. Long time lurker first time posting.
I have been in the process of replacing the CSC (many of you know my pain) on my 08 G37S. I cannot get the transmission to come off the engine. This is not my first tranny drop, but first time with the G. If I hadn't checked 20 times and even bought an endoscope to check 20 more I would swear I still had a bolt in it. I have shaken that thing side to side hard enough that my buddy thought it was coming off the jack stands.
Got 8 big bolts(17mm), 4 smaller bolts (14mm) and 2 starter bolts. As well as both inspection plates and the crank shaft position sensor.
Did I miss something?
Searching all over the forum, and the internet in general and cant seem to find anyone who had even a little trouble here.
Any help, tips and/or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Going on 3 weeks without my car is heartbreaking.

So after weeks of trying I bought some new prybars (much larger and more stout than the ones I had). With the stiffer, and larger prybars I was easily able to pop the tranny loose in about 30 minutes. I can't believe it was just my beat up old prybars keeping me from success. So happy to have it out, but frustrated that it took so long.
