Take off the flywheel bottom cover and hit the tranny with a dead blow hammer. The car isn't old enough for the dowel pins to be seized. Scott has had the 5MT out and might know how many bolts. Don't you have a shop manual? The '02/03 one is in the forums or archives somewhere.

I can't believe you are not getting any separation top or bottom with all the bolts out and lifting and lowering the back end of the tranny. That just doesn't sound possible with the leverage it has over the height of the bell housing.

You have the linkage disconnected? But that wouldn't keep it from moving at all...
