I need help with how to pull my aw4 trans from my 4.0, all bolts are undone from bellhousing and torque converter, everything is disconnected it just won't give, need help if I'm forgetting anything asap please !

Did you find the torx bolts on top of bell housing? Are you lifting the weight of transmission while removing to prevent spline from binding?
Transmission dipstick is bolted to engine block. Cable to throttle valve need to be disconnected. And electrical connection near dipstick

Everything has been done except the dipstick, I thought it looked to be on the bell housing so I left it be

You're probably right and I did not remember it correctly, but I remember that pesky top bolt in bellhousing that requires an E-socket.
Not sure what else it could be other than in binding on output shaft from engine.

I've had those stick on the dowels on the block before.

So I still had 2 bolts on both sides holding the bell housing in on the dust shield, I thought the shield was on the transmission so I didn't bother removing them but upon removal it is now free!

same thing happened to me my first time pulling the aw4. i left one bolt on the dustshield and just hooked up a ratchet strap to my rear diff and started cranking. i realized i forgot a bolt the minute it let go. lol. i thought it was just stuck on the dowels.
