I took it upon myself today to try to pull the automatic transmission from my 1990 2.6L 190E. It has been giving me problems with no-shift condition and I think it is the Governor Regulator (probably a broken helical gear). I am so close to having the thing apart, but I can't get it to separate at the torque convertor and engine block. Apparently there are 6 bolts on the driver plate at the torque convertor that needs to be removed. Problem is, after I removed them, I still can't get the thing to separate. It almost looks like there is a rivet of some sort in between the bolts. Does anyone have any idea on how this transmission gets separated. I have attached a picture from the manual I was using and also pics of the driver plate.
If anyone has an experience in this at all, please reply! I thought I would be able to get the trans separated and get the govenor out today, but looks like I am wrong. Already have about 8 hours into the job already and didn't expect it to be this difficult. I also noticed than the fit to get to most of the bolts is really tight. Any suggestions for when I go to put the thing back together?
Look forward to any advise you can provide. Thanks.
