I just found that if you use a rubber mallet and strike the top cap that Fatweed is talking about in a counter clockwise direction, while holding the cap down it will slowly turn enough to pop up. I did not find this out while my tranny was in my truck, so I just dropped the tranny to the ground and laid it on it's side and pulled that sucker out of there. Good luck.
