1984 engine is SUPER GLUED to the tranny

[Bill Lonergan]

I'm trying to remove engine (22R) from the truck (1984 Toy SR5 Pick up).... Ive disconnected the tranny...removed all bolts and exhaust and two front engine mounts but the engine will not separate from tranny?????YES I got all the bolts out... any ideas folks. I am not taking tranny out with engine...I will drop Tranny/ Transfer case AFTER engine is removed.

NEVER MIND....I got her out...the dowels were corroded pretty good, also noticed that the throw out bearing was broken...not sure if I did it or perhaps it was the cause of some of the noise in 1st thru 3rd gear?????

Hopefully the throw-out bearing is easier to get on your generation than it was for mine.
The clutch fork, bearing, and any parts similar for mine were like finding a needle in a haystack.
Of course this was for a 1980 20R.

I don't know about the noise, mine was wired (yes, copper wire) to the clutch fork and I didn't notice any unusual noise, and if it does have unusual noise it didn't change when I got the issue fixed.

How corroded was it? Did you have to pry it apart or use a solvent to help loosen it up?

 

[Bill Lonergan]

It took a lot of prying, dowels are very corroded definatly being replaced upon tranny rebuild

Glad to hear you managed to get the thing out.

 

[Bill Lonergan]

Got a call from AAMCO they found bad bearings (guess that's where the noise in 1st thru 3rd gear came from) so the rebuild will consist of new bearing and brass and seals throughout...$1000 beans but I was prepared for something in that neighborhood

I believe the throw out bearing is a common problem. You might look into after market performance parts to upgrade it.

@Bill Lonergan, you're having your local AAMCO shop do the rebuild? What's the scope on what they're supposed to do, what's the timeline and if you don't mind ... what are they charging for the project?

 

[Bill Lonergan]

I sent in the entire trans with transfer case etc.. they said brass and bearing kit replacement, they have had it for over a month and the quoted price was 1035.00 with 1 yr warrantee if I install. I went to AAMCO cause they are national name and I don't know Jack about transmissions. Im hopeing for the best here...Im not worried about how long its taking cause I haven't even sent body and frame out for paint/ powdercoat yet, plus still waiting on the Engine block to get back so I can rebuild that.

I'm assuming that gets replaced when they say Brass and Bearing rebuild kit is getting installed.?

The throw out bearing is part of the clutch package, on the clutch fork.
Which brings up the question of are you replacing the clutch assembly? Ie pressure plate, clutch plate, etc.
On Toyota trucks theres a ball pivot assy on the clutch fork that can show excessive wear, nows the time to check this too.

getting new clutch plate, clutch cyl etc.
