Has Anyone Tried This?

I have never had to do that in the car. I have heard of that rope trick. I have also head people using a pry bar or make a stop that bolts to the block or bell housing to hold the flywheel ring gear or torque converter ring gear stationary.

See picture I found with a quick internet search. This is an example and not a design for your Mopar. It is a part you can buy for a Chevy.
