your tranny(spindle thing) is still in the torque converter or the tranny itself maybe sittingon top of the torqueconverter. Try tilting the engine to the driver's side by lowering it. Get a crow bar, and try to tap/pry the tranny out. It should come out after that.

Well, it's already tilted to the driver's side of the car. how exactly doest the flexplate/torqur converter attach to the motor? Is it a splined shaft that connects the crank to the tranny? Or does the Flexplate/TC bolt up tight to the motor?
By taking all the tranny to motor bolts off, the tranny should be able to just "slide right off"?

The flexplate is bolted to the crankshaft. The torque converter is bolted onto the flexplate. The spindle thing is on the auto tranny and inserts itself into the torque converter. You have to stick a pry bar and nudge the tranny out(usually gets stuck on the bottom. Just keep trying, top and then bottom.
It shouldn't slide off if you took off the bolts, you just need to give it a harder "nudge".

Hey I was just wondering does all of this post on the swap apply to the mazda 1989 gt ATX to MTX swap...I am about a week from diving in and this appears to be a big help if things are the same for the most part
