M46 removal, starter housing interference 200

I attempted a clutch replacement on my 84 242 Turbo the other day. I got everything unbolted and even got the tranny seperated from the engine, but I couldn't get it to drop. The bellhousing has a buldge to accomodate the starter gear, and whenever I pulled the tranny back that would hit the firewall (or whatever body panel is right there). I could't get the transmission far enough back to have the input shaft completely clear the pressure plate and therefore drop down.

Any tips for getting that thing out?

I decided that if I couldn't get it out with gravity helping me, then I would never be able to get it back in with gravity working against me, so I put it back together to drive it into the shop to let them do it. Unfortunately, I can't get the clutch cable back to the "sweet spot" of functionality and the clutch is non-functioning at this point. If I get some good tips on the bellhousing then maybe I'll try again.
