The bolts are really hard to remove. The car company takes every initiative to give a tight and compact model. So believe me visit a mechanic.

Chevy has been going to torx plus and many people are stripping out the torx.
http://www.autopart.com/tools/toolsmain/tool/T_9680.htm This is a picture of one. Use search and look at 9605. If you want better quality search SK84231 and 84232 http//www.matcotools.com/ sells mechanics grade search torx plus.
The bigger Chevy's use these so I think these do also. As few parts stores carry them I would order a set before you begin. The other thing is removing the CV joints and axles to pull the transmission. Some people heat the bolts to appx 550 degrees to turn the thread locker to a liquid.
I mis typed the 9605 is what chevy pickups use at this time.
