Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi Im attempting in removing my engine and all is done the only thing left is to get the tranny out of the engine. I undid the torque converter to drive plate nuts and the bellhousing bolts I put a jack under the transmission oil pan to support the weight of the tranny I jacked the engine but the tranny still comes with it. So I did try to pry the tranny of the engine but it still wont budge:S anyone have any ideas?
