Upper oil pan

Good afternoon.

Can you post a picture for me of what you see?

Roy

I do not know how. I have iPhone 6.

take a picture and upload it to this post.

Roy

Pan hangs down but will not release from area by torque converter.

Okay, did you remove the cover, if there is one, for the converter?

Roy

Trying to remove upper oil pan. It hangs down but it appears that a lip of the pan extends into the transmission bell housing and is caught there. Wondering if I have to create gap between engine and transmission to release upper oil pan. I hope not. Thanks

Are all the bolts removed for the pan?

Is there a cover on the torque converter that can be removed?

I really wish you could provide me a picture so I see what you see.

Roy

Torque converter cover removed. Did photo display?

Pan bolts removed, pan separated from block. Pan hangs down but will not release from transmission side.

No photo came up.

can you move the pan forward to get the pan to clear?

Roy

Sent photo, did you receive?

Crankshaft prevents forward and rear movement.

Okay, again, is the a cover you can remove at the bottom of the converter to allow the pan to drop?

No photo.

It is a small window that allows access to torque converter bolts.

Crankshaft is housed in oil pan preventing any side motions only down and lip of pan extends into transmission bell housing prevents pan to drop.

I think I understand what you are suggesting. Not as much work as separating engine from transmission. Thanks

Okay, I see a bracket that looks like it is blocking it from coming down. remove that bracket.

Roy

The bracket in this case is actually the bottom of oil pan allowing it to bolt to transmission housing.

In the photo it shows to be bolted to the bell housing?

Roy

The two 10 mm facing down lock pan to block. Releasing them allows pan to separate from block. Pan drops half an inch or so but no further .

I will send a photo of it hanging .

Okay.

Pinch point is created by angle of transmission to engine and by crankshaft bracket. Looks like creating gap between transmission and engine is only option. Thanks for your help.

You are welcome.
