it's just stuck a bit. the dowel pins are just holding on. get a pry bar and a big hammer. it'll come off.

i picked up on the motor and trans with my enigine puller and with all bolts out, i grabbed the backend of the trans and kinda rocked it back and forth... everything tht would keep it from coming out seems to be removed, i just dont wanna shake on it to much and hurt somthin ya know.

wiggle it back and forth and pull out. there isn't anything holding it except your lack of strength.

yea i took the starter out and spun the flywheel around to see if there was any bolts in it cause usually when u remove trans from a motor 9 out of 10 times u gotta un-bolt the flywheel...but i seen where there was no flywheel bolts so ive tried to wiggle the trans out but its not comin. ive just kinda not been to rough with it cause i dont wanna screw anything up as far as scarring somthin.

Maybe hes replacing the clutch? Easier to get to w/o the bell on there.
