Angry Transmission will not come out

I have been trying to remove my transmission for 2 days now. I have everything unhooked, the 6 bell housing bolts are out, the starter is out, the cross member is out, both drive shafts are out, all electrical is unplugged, shifter is removed, clutch slave cylinder is removed, but the damn thing will not come out. I have wiggled it, jiggled it, pulled on it with a come along, beat on it, etc.... It has not moved even a fraction of an inch, I can't even get a screw driver in between the bell housing and the motor. The transmission will not come out. Please any advice would be wonderful. Thank you

There is a good possibility you missed a bolt or two that secure the trans to the engine. Some had guide posts in the engine block that when corrosion took place the material the trans housing was made from just corroded so badly you couldn't get the housing off the guide posts.
