In need of clutch work I removed everything to pull the tranny. (7)Mounting bolts, (2)starter bolts, starter, harness', shifter, and crossmember. I have a jack under the oil pan and of course a rolling floor jack under the tranny. I can't get it to come apart. I have placed a screwdriver in as a fulcrum on the bottom to try to get it to start, but it will not come apart any. Am I missing something holding it together, or is the shaft binding and not allowing the shaft clearance to pull apart?

Also...I know/am thinking there were 8 or 9 mounting bolts in all, but 2 of them were used with the starter.

 

make sure the very top bolts are out as they are easily overlooked. there may be (cant remember if it is the 3.0 only) two bolts that go from the engine and thread into the transmission. if not, the alignment dowels are probably frozen in the trans case. shake the trans tailshaft housing side to side and up and down until it brakes loose, have someone hold the trans on the jack while you do this. If you have no removed the ehaust, you will either have to remove it, or turn the transmission upside down to remove it
