3vze removal..big pain in the A!
#22
I know a shop right up the street from me in Mulino, OR(Clackamas Co.) that will sell you a rebuilt 3VZE for $1895 with a 75,000 mile warranty. That may be with a core exchange of yours, not sure. They only do 22RE or 3VZE as far as Toyota rebuilds.

2716 S. Hwy 213
Office:503-829-6158
Shop:503-829-6038
Or nationwide 1-800-823-6038
If you change your mind...can't afford the 3.4.

i did some reasearch on grumpys and have found some bad reviews on him, now i konw some people are just whiners but there was seriously like 5 bad reviews on that shop, have you dealt with him before on a yota? and he has some stuff on ebay for a good price though too.

Honestly, the guy's a dick. His son, who does all the work while his dad sit's on his fat ass, is an excellent mechanic/machinist. My brother used to work for him, and my sister's boyfriend is his nephew so that's how I know.
Not everybody has had a bad experience with them. I had him resurface my heads, other than that I haven't dealt with them.

And to get to those top 2 bolts on the bell housing, I just use a real long tranny extension, a 17mm swivel socket, and an impact gun. It doesn't take long at all to pull it out.
