Hm.................
Select 1st or 3rd gear to push the shift rod on the transmission in so it is shorter when you lower and try to get out of the tunnel.
You shouldn't need 2 jacks. Find the sweet-spot to balance both engine and transmission, it is just in front of the sump plate.
Since you're doing it solo, support the whole unit by stacking some pieces of 2x6 or 2x8 under the heater boxes and then lower gradually removing the wood as you come down.
Remember that you need balance and support in all directions.
Don't rush. A few people learned the hard way that removing the engine/transmission in a hurry is a bad mistake.
Only remove all 4 mounting bolts when you're satisfied that you have solid support, good balance and lots of wooden pieces within reach.
Check one more time that everything is disconnected!
