Liquid wrench or some kind of rust freer then use a powerful impact wrench. If this doesn't work then use a breaker bar with a pipe on the end for more leverage.

Same here...I use a 12 mm 12 point socket and a 3/8 breaker bar (for clearance) and a section of pipe if needed.

Breaker bar...although if the tranny bolts are standard 6 point, use a 6 point socket, nothing worse than stripping the head.
