Bellhousing and upper oil pan

[streetbikestunta420]

Okay what's up people I just had a quick question so I'm removing my upper oil pan and it seems to have 2 bolts attaching it 2 the bellhousing, when I remove these 2 bolts will any trannyfluid leak, I doubt it but just though i'd ask cuz Ive split enough **** on it and just though id try. 2 keep it clean during this haha

The upper oil pan is only bolted to it, there is no oil transfer between the two. Trans oil is different from engine oil...

I think he is thinking that there is oil in the Bell Housing.

The bell housing(the part that attaches to the engine) is an empty space for the Clutch Slave, Fork Assy, Flywheel, Clutch and Input shaft for the transmission. The oil is kept even farther behind that behind a seal on the input shaft.

The upper pan is bolted to the rear seal bracket as-well.

The UOP has extra bolt holes near the rear that are threaded. If you screw a bolt in on both sides and tighten them a few turns at a time, it will push the UOP away from the block. I think there is a small access plate on the UOP that you might be able to get at the 2 10mm nuts that bolt the rear main seal bracket to the UOP.

kool and where is the main seal bracket? top/ side/bottom of uop?

[supreamS14]

it holds the rear main seal that seals around the crankshaft. If you ever pulled your transmission you would know what it looks like.

Do you have a FSM? You should download one!

So wait I'm supposed to take off the transmission?

I always pull the motor and transmission. Get the fsm! I think you can do it the way you wanted.

You dont have to pull the transmission to unbolt the upper pan just the transmission bolts that bolt too it. (there is not fuild in the bell housing) although its a ***** to pop off, the RTV on it seals really good so you need to find a flat blade and breaks the RTV seal all around to make it easier.

When you pull the pan with the rear seal plate on still make sure you pull it off straight to avoid snapping the studs for it

Dont forget about the alternator Bracket also

[streetbikestunta420]

Sweet thanx for the help umma try to get it off tommorow morning but just to be clear I don't have to take the real seal bracket to take off the uop?

[Sileighty_85]

Right you dont have remove the rear oil seal to pull off the UOP

but it will be easier if you pull the transmission though for for the oil seal boltscuz there kinda tucked in there

They are 2X 10mm nuts just to let ya know

[streetbikestunta420]

Where are the oil seal bolts at? Do I gotta remove them before or after taking off the uop?cuz ibelieve I got allthebolts connecting it off I just gotta pry that **** off but I've never taken off anupper oil pan, **** I've never even heard of one ha

[Sileighty_85]

In my pic i posted do you see the two studs sticking up?Those are them

There is a gold looking acess plate in the rear that should let you able to remove the the two nuts for it
