I know I'm about a day late here, but I'd like to throw my two cents in here. At least next time you might remember when your in the same pinch.
I did the engine out trick/leave the tranny in. If I remember right, there are two bolts about 6 or 8 inches apart across the top of the engine. I took about four feet of 1/2" drive extensions and snaked it up along side the top of the transmission to the head of the bolts in question. So now your breaker bar or ratchet is some where near the tail end of the tranny. It's better to use 3 or 4 shorter extensions than a couple of long ones. This way the shorties make a slight arc and afford somewhat of a swivle. Next time give it a try.
