97 firebird, whats keeping this trans from coming out

have every posible this removed and trans will only move hack about a 1/8th of a inch. What could be holding it up? Hydraulic throw out bearing?

It doesn't have a clutch fork. It isn't like the 3rd gens in that aspect. it's hydraulic line goes to a line that sticks out of the side of the bellhousing.

I suggest the pilot bearing is stuck on the input shaft. It's moving a little but still in the end of the crank, and even if it does come out of the crank, it won't go thru the clutch disc.

I think it is cause the hydraulic throwout bearing bolt to the front of the trans and then its solid lines come out the bellhousing and it is those lines that are holding it up
