How can you get this thing to break loose? All the bolts are out and I have a jack under the tranny, but no luck. Car hasn't been in the weather more than a few times and I was hoping it would be easier than this. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you got the very top bolt. It's TOUGH to get to (and that's why most people leave it out when they re-install the tranny.)

Thanks Colonel, I had some problem with two of the bolts till I dropped the back of the tranny then I had full access I just got off the phone with a tranny guy I know and he said that the steel dowel pins get rusty sometimes and can cause some pain, Brian, I'd make sure all the belhousing bolts are out like Colonel said then do what I'm gonna do and spray the dowel pins with a spray lube and shake it and pry gently till it comes loose. I may even use a "little" heat

Well, by the time I walked back to the garage after posting this my buddy popped her loose as I walked through the door. Thanks for the info though.
