Splitting tranny from engine?

Trying to split the engine from the tranny in a early 90s FG25T-11. All the bolts seem out, I unbolted the converter from the flexplate, and the engine seems glued to the tranny. Checked carefully for missed bolts, and I do see what appears to be two locating pins. Are there any strange fasteners to look for? I squirted penetrating oil on the seam yesterday, so hopefully some movement tonight.

Ok, got the engine out.is there a trick to removing the torque converter? Other machines I've worked on the tc just pops out, but not this one.

Thanks - I'll try again tonight, but I'm sure I found all the bolts.

Very basic trans/engine combo- There are bolts about every 4-6" around the entire bell housing so make sure they're all out. Usually the bottom of the engine/bell housing will start to separate on it's own as the bolts are removed.

There are 2 locating dowels -one on each side- but I've never had an issue with them.

Make sure to support under the trans's bell housing as it will pivot downward with the engine removed.

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
