Did you get the top bolt? the dowl pins could be holding you up. You gotta shake the thing up and down pretty hard.

Ditto, I have never seen a tranny that doesnt want to drop right out after everything is off. Wiggling it at the tailshaft should pop it right off the pins. I'd say you missed a bolt somehwere.

The tranny is stuck on the dowel pins on the motor. You need to pry evenly from both sides of the tranny. Between the motor and tranny. Evenly is the key or it will bind. We have had to do this on both the 98s we have done converters on. Put some grease on the pins before you put the tranny back in.
