87 5kCS tranny stuck, won't come out

[patrick gillen]

I am befuddled.  All bolts are out, 2 sets of eyes looked over many times.
Everything is disconnected, but trans will not budge.  I do recall there are
a couple of locating sleeves, but I have never seen these seize up like
this.  

 

Anybody have similar issue?  Could it be the input shaft stuck to crank
pilot bearing? Just kidding only partially here as I can't pry bell housing
away from engine a fraction of a mm. I am get ready to cum-along it but thot
I'd ask first.
