My pilot bearing went out and I'm trying to drop my tranny my throw out bearing is completely separated but my tranny still won't budge. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue. Ended up unbolting the pressure plate from the fly wheel while the trans was still on the engine. If it still doesn't move. It's the pilot bearing seized and you just have to fight it off

If this doesnt help

Then you will have to unbolt the flywheel.

Can also be done through the inspection holes.

Is the transmission moving back from the engine at all? If not, you may still have a bolt holding the transmission in. There's a bolt up at the top that many people miss.
