If its an automatic, don't forget the torq converter bolts

It's not necessary to unbolt the torque converter as it doesn't hold the engine to the trans.

Here are the bolt locations:

And there is a 12mm bolt under the intake that is oriented in the opposite direction:

Yes you're right. However, if the OP is trying to remove the trans with the engine still in the car the torque converter will not only be a pain in the ass to get the trans out but will also spill all is fluid onto the floor.

Make sure you unbolt the torque converter and that it comes out with the transmission. Make sure the transfer case is removed, rear transmission mount, ALL of the bolts and axles removed and out of the way. Without any obstructions it'll come out and it WILL be heavy. Definitely be sure that the torque converter comes with the trans and doesnt hang up. If you let the trans hang on the input shaft it could be a very bad day for you.

i just did this. DO NOT leave the torque converter bolted to the flex plate, this will not allow the trans enough room to come out and can damage the trans pump, bushing and seal. the rear (at firewall) mount has a speed sensor going through it. this is often overlooked and broken when removing. check there. i have my 2g auto awd trans out right now about to go back in. if you need any pictures or questions just ask.

I am actually trying to remove the engine for a rebuild. Sorry for the confusion.

Ive heard but never seen that you'd be able to remove the motor and transmission together but you'd have to get real silly with the positioning to maneuver it out. Not 100% on this, just what I've heard.

I don't know about a 2g, but on my fwd 1g I have pulled both engine and trans at the same time.. It wasn't hard at all to do it that way, it slid in and out with no clearance issues.. I changed my trans once without pulling the engine and it made it harder..

Clearances are real nice with the auto. Remove all the pulleys, unbolt everything and just pull the motor. Since the 2g has 3 mounts on the tranny, it will sit there real nice waiting for the motor

Torque Converter Bolts?

Torque Converter Bolts?

There are four 19mm bolts that hold the torque converter to the drive plate. You need to un-bolt them to separate the torque converter from the engine. I removed the trans with the TC still on and didn't have any problems, but the bolts can be removed through he inspection plate prior to pulling the transmission.

Im sorry I was unclear, I know what they are, I was asking if he checked those.

Sorry. ha ha

does anyone have picture of the 4 bolts I need to take out of the torque converter so I can seperate the trans an engine.
