Its stuck with the torque convertor. You should be able to lower the trans just a bit and wiggle it around a bit to make sure it will come loose. Just grab the tail housing on the trans and go side to side so it slides back an inch or so. Then you have to pry out the torque convertor from the crank. So basically, pull the trans back some to expose the torque convertor, and then use a pry bar to get the torque convertor out of the crank. Its in by about 1/2 an inch also. Once you get the torque convertor off the crank the trans should drop right out
