I'm going to be changing the flexplate in my T100 truck Sunday. It recently developed a crack with accompanying noise. It was because of high mileage as I've seen on Toyota forums. So, I need to separate engine from trans. It's a 3.4 V6 2wd with the A340 automatic. My plan is to pull the upper two bellhousing bolts and inset two M14x1.5 bolts probably 10 inches long to serve as guide pins, then support the bottom of the trans with a floor jack and slide the trans back far enough to allow access to the flexplate, then slide it all back together.
Where would you recommend looking for bolts like this? The length would need to be at least 200mm.
Thanks
