Tranny support PLUS bolts

[Kneale Brownson]

I got the bolt out of the support finally.  Well rusted onto the broken
rubber.  Lots of 1/8 turns using a gearwrench and big ViseGrips to hold the
rubber.

So, now I have all the big and little bolts out of the bellhousing, but I
can only get the tranny to gap away from the engine at the bottom about the
thickness of a credit card.  I'm pushing firmly but gently on a 3/8"
extension inserted into one of the holes in the bottom of the tranny next
to the engine and the tranny will spring slightly away to create that gap,
but goes back closed when I let off.  I removed the three big bolts up each
side and the funky Alan head bolt at the bottom, all going in from the
back, and the three smaller bolts that insert from the engine side.  What's
keeping the tranny on?
