Is there any chance that you could get a few pictures of the problem bolt, that might help with giving advice.

many people use a bunch of extensions with a universal joint adapter and get to them from under the car

That is exactly how I got my manual transmission unbolted. But it was one swivel and a 36" extension. Thank god for Sears Craftsman. Also, for automatics, I suggest you remove the flywheel cover and unbolt the torque converter from the flywheel, and remove it with the transmission.

i took off all the bolts but know the transmission seem really loose but is not coming off any advice

you need to undo the torque converter bolts from the backside of the flex plate

Once you've gotten the transmission out how do you get it back in? It's pretty heavy and we're having a hard time getting it up in place, holding it and bolting it back on.
