Looks to me like you left the front and back brackets of the tranny bolted to the mounts which are bolted to the subframe. So the engine is bolted to the tranny and the tranny is bolted the front and back of the subframe, so the chain holding up the motor will only allow the subframe to drop so far. To make things easy disconnect the long bolts going through the mounts, and then undo the brackets on the tranny. This way you'll have more room to get the tranny out. You can leave the front mount bolted to the subframe and I beleive you will need to undo the rear mount, which is easy anyway. Good luck
