I am pulling the engine and want to know how many bolts there are holding the 5 speed tranny bellhousing to a 22re? I want to make sure i got them all and the manual doesnt really show "how" many there are.

Thanks

 

i would also like to know as im pulling my tranny tommorow as i just got my new tranny jack together \m/

 

I believe its 9 bolts.

 

ill go look at the engine i just pulled its still hanging from the chain fall

 

-4 bolts holding bellhousing to block
-4 bolts holding support brackets to bell housing
-2 bolts holding starter on

So 10 Total.

 

ok there are 4 17mm2 at the top bellow the valve cover and one on each side at the bottom of the block there are 4 14mm bolts they are bolted to the supports that are on the lwer side of the block also the 2 15/14mm bolts that hold the starter on btw one of the 17 mm bolts at the base of the block are behind the clutch slave cylinder
hope this helps

 

oopps someone got it before me

 

And I got it by memory

 

Well i got them off. So who has accidentally NOT put the top botls back in? Would it make a differnence if they were not used?

 

I wouldn't suggest that. Quick way to break things.

 

yeah i would say that toyota put those bolts in the top for a reason lol

 

Ditto, there is a lot of torque flying around in that little bellhousing.

 

Don't feel bad! I did the same thing last time I dropped a tranny. Stabbed it..then went to bed...came out the next day and forgot about the top 2 bolts

Luckily it only takes a few minutes to drop the crossmember and tilt back the bellhousing
