Todd - I had a similar occurrence while changing my clutch ... only I was dropping the tranny out the bottom. There are two bolts that attach a cover plate to the tranny housing, but the cover plate is aft of the flywheel, so the tranny comes away from the engine until the cover plate bottoms out on the flywheel. The cover plate is on the driver's side, and the bolts are very difficult to get to. One of them can't be seen. I hope that helps.
