I'm not clear on "tried to remove the transmission with no luck at all". Does this mean after you took the universal apart, the yoke wouldn't slide back into the torque tube clearing the end of the transmission allowing the torque tube to be lowered or raised out of the way of the transmission removal. Or does it mean the transmission is siezed to the bellhousing?

Hopefully this will knock things off center and you will get some more feedback if your are still having the problem of removing the transmission from the bellhousing.

I'm also trusting you removed the 4 bolts from the transmission to bellhousing connection.
