Separating L110 transmission from 2GR-FSE engine (Lexus GS450h)
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2022 3:44 am
Anyone got some hot tips separating the L110 transmission from the GS450h engine? Is it just a matter of removing the externally accessible bolts holding the 2 together or is there something internal to do with the flywheel/torque converter that needs to be accessed through a service panel?
I know that with auto transmissions you need to jog the flywheel around and remove the bolts that hold the torque converter to the flywheel via the flexplate. I'm not seeing that in this case.
I have all the bolts out and I can wedge the trans and engine apart but seems to be caught up on something and I don't want to force it.
If you can describe how the trans interfaces with the engine or better yet, provide photos that shows inside the bell housing that would be great!
