first make sure EVERYTHING is off that holds it on the, take a flat head or something flat and start prying thats what i had to do.

yea, we're pretty sure all the bolts are off...we made sure three times...we tried the screw driver thing..but there aint to gap between them to use a screw driver....is the only thing to do is to just wiggle the hell out of it?? thanx

Yup, make sure u have all the bolts off.
Did you take out the starter bolt? thats a lil. hidden.

After, just carefully pry it out.

Odds are it's the starter bolt. The transmission will let you know when it's 100% unbolted. Don't ream it with a flathead screwdriver: use a rubber mallet if you feel the need to jostle it. Aluminum doesn't take well to gouging.
