Glock&AR man

Hey ya'll, I have 96 F150 with a 4.9 with 5 speed manual transmission. I am fixing the clutch slave cylinder. these are the steps I have done to drop the transmission.
Removed starter
drained the transmission
removed drive shaft
removed the Slave cylinder line
removed the cross bar under transmission
removed all the bolts from bell housing
removed the bolts from cover plate or dust cover whatever it is

I still cant get the transmission to budge! I have used pry bar , wiggled , pulled son of a gun wont budge! What am I missing? everything I have seen or read say the thing should just slide out and drop.

Live in an area that uses salt to melt ice from the roads? If so get a BFH and a longer stronger pry bar.
