Easier to pull trans with. Much easier. Did you unbolt the pressure plate bolts?
I'd say put trans back on. But it's up to you.

Well, it's in the GE section, so I'm assuming it's an NA with an W58. If that's the case, then it sounds like it's stuck on the pilot bearing and you're not pulling it straight back.
If it's a turbo, then you're not pulling it correctly at all, but I don't think that's the case here (since your profile says you have a GE).

jolt it left and right up and down and keep this motion till it moves and trust me its gonna be a bitch..
For R154 trans (turbo) the fork will have to come out before the trans and engine can be separated, make sure no more bolts and supports are holding the two together. For a W58 (non turbo) the bolts around engine/trans are all removed and should just pull right out, unless the input shaft is stuck onto the pilot bearing then that may be the cause of the problem. Like they said life is SOOO much easier with the engine and trans removed together.
I just had this problem last week and as it was mentioned earlier it is stuck on the fork. You have to go underneath and pop out the pin holding the fork on it makes it a little easier if you push the motor back on. I had the trouble inns r154 but I'm sure its the same on the w58.
Well......Is it out yet?
Don't be afraid to say what it was. We've all done stupid things before

yall seem to forget the locating pins on the bellhousing tend to lock up make it hard to remove the trans....
on a w58 there is no reason to undo the clutch fork or pressure plate as its not a pull type clutch.
if i where you id put a couple bolts back in the trans and pull the motor trans and all and then pull them apart later.
