E30 Zone

Looking for some help please, spent most of the day trying to drop the gearbox out my 325i.
Disconnected:
Exhaust
Prop
Slave Cyl
Gear linkeage
Box back mount
Torx bolts and starter bolts

Box wont budge though. i got a couple of levers in around the bottom of the bell housing and the bottom section has come apart from the dowels, top wont move.
Is there a bolt or something i'm missing or could it just be the input shaft being stuck there good an proper?? Car has been sat for a year or so.
The two bolts I could see at the top of the housing I undone were the starter top bolt on the passenger side and a torx on the driver side. (RH drive by the way)
Any help or constructive advise welcomed, as I have got the hump with the bloody thing!
Thanks.

Have you undone all the bolts?

There must still be one up top, look at this image here and have a count up, there is another Torx at the top left.
and don't forget the small 10mm sometimes facing the front exhaust side

Cheers, been looking for a decent diagram like that for the last hour and a bit.

Looks like i missed one.....muthafu&$er. One above the top starter.
No wonder it wouldn't budge.
Think the heat got to me today...
Thanks fella, might not have so many beers now!
