You might need to loosen the bracket going from the tranny area to the exhaust pipe. I don't think this is gumming up the works, but it can wedge things up a bit and possibly snap a joint loose on your exhaust, especially with your amount of rust.  |
How high up did you have to jack it before the engine moved sans car? I'm a bit hesitant to push it too high for fear it'll suddenly give and cause collateral damage. Maybe it just needs to go a little higher.
