I was able to get all the top bolts out anyway, without having to drop the transmission anymore. Everything is removed - driveshaft, dipstick tube, all connections EXCEPT for the throttle valve cable. The thing still doesn't want to drop, but I think I can get it out anyway.

New problem is that I can not separate the transmission from the engine - all bolts are out but the thing is STUCK!

Any suggestions?
