M5OD Removal

I've got all the bellhousing bolts removed and I've used pry bars trying to dislodge my M5OD so I can install a ZF, problem is the M5 doesn't seem to want to come out.

Can anyone offer some tips, I've had it out before, twice in fact but it's stubbornly staying put for now.


I've got a little seperation between the engine and the tranny but it's not budging any further.

Any ideas?

If you have a little gap all the bolts should be out but might be worth one more look all the way around to be sure. Barring that and maybe the starter the next thought would be the input shaft splines could be worn and keyed into the clutch disk. Maybe try rocking the rear driveshaft while pulling aft on the transmission?
