It was just really really stuck on there for some reason. After about 30 min of messing around with the tranny jack I just took it out and tied a strap across the gap so it wouldn't fall on my face. Then in anger I bench pressed the tranny, banging it against the bottom of the car about 25 times.
Still it didn't come off but, I made enough of a small gap up top between the engine and tranny that I could fit a huge pry bar in it. I had just removed the 02 sensor from Austin's exhaust so I was in the zone and ready to do WORK. Then it became one of those home videos from Yosemite where a black bear begins to pry the door off of a dodge caravan to get at the half eaten bag of pecan sandies on the back seat. It was pretty epic due to the lightning storm in the background.
