Once you have unbolted the driveshaft flange at the differential, smack it with a hammer a few times to break the rust bond that forms between the shaft and diff. The shaft should then slide forwad a bit into the transmission, allowing you to angle the rear end down and then slide it backwards out of the transmission.

Where is it getting stuck for you?
