Paul,

Well, thats what I thought of doing, but I didn't really want to ding
everything up.

Following Tom's advice:

"Now for the fun part - Push the transmission away transmission exposed!
from the engine, without knocking it off the jack. You may have to lower
the jack a little bit more as the transmission slides forward."

Didn't quite work that way for me -- the transmission didn't slide
forward.  I'll keep prying at it tomorrow.

thanks,
Blake
