Its held down by two roll pin type things that come in from the side. if you push down on the ball and socket type deal and give it about an 18th of a turn counterclockwise it is spring loaded and will pop up..then you just pull it out. youll see how it works when you get it out.
What it will say on my Tombstone: "Boy, that guy sure owed alotta people Money"

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.
