Hi all, over the weekend I pulled my engine from my 87 4runner with the 22re. I tried to take the motor out with the bell housing and trany attached. After figuring out that the trany is alot longer than I thought, I pulled only the motor out. First, I tried to unbolt the trany where I thought it ended. I think that the trany is built in two pieces? I put the bolts back in the place where I took it apart and now it leaks. Is there a gasket in that spot, or is it even possible to separate the two pieces of the trany?

 

where did you pull it apart the bell housing or the transfercase? just asking to get more info on this

 

I took it out by unbolting the engine from the bell housing.

 

You took it apart at the transfer adapter. So, you'll need to reseal it.
This is a diagram of the whole unit:

Wow, thanks, that helps out alot. Is is possible to unbolt the t-case adapter from the trany, or is there gears inside holding it together.

 

The links I posted will show you what you're asking.
