Everything has been removed. the tourque convertor bolts have been removed the dipstick has been removed. the tranny lines have been removed. all sensors removed driveshaft removed torque arm removed

It feels like this thing is welded to the block what the hell do I do

hey

ya, ive found thats often the case, it seems like its on it real good, so before going any farther, i would suggesting, double checking that there really isnt any more bolts connected anywhere hiding good, and then youre gonna have to use a prybar or something to try to get it split open, its usually on there pretty good, dont be affraid if you know that everything is disconnected properly, to really giver.

I have had the same problem before, I usually try to pick up on the trans put a screwdriver between the block and trans the pull back down. The trans is stuck on the dowell pins. If you get it off use a scotch pad or something to clean the studs. I have done 4 different cars that way.

Mine has been stuck like that both times I've had the transmission out of the car. I get a buddy to help me and we pry from both sides with large screwdrivers.
