How do I Seperate the trans from the engine?

[The ImPaLeR]

Alright, I have a 97 Elantra and were trying to replace the clutch, I got all the bolts seperating the tranny and the engine out, and the tranny moves freely, took BOTH CV joints out and we got the tranny to move about 1/2 an inch away from the engine... but we cant get to go any farther, tried everything we can think of, short of strapping chains to it and pulling it off with my 3 wheeler.. lol but I dont want to do that... yet, i know its probably something stupid, figured you guys might got any advice?

You have to drop the subframe, and drop the transmissin out from the bottom.
