pledgekincaid Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This should be very straight forward but I am absolutely mystified. Pulled my transmission to do a manual swap (since I had to pull it all for the seal replacement). I got the flex plate off and see my main seal is leaking. Odd part is the mounting face for the crank is not flush with the rear of the block. Must be about 1” away. I’ve never seen it before, car runs and drives but I can’t think of a way to replace the seal because the mounting face is wider than the seal. Anyone have any idea what I am running into here?

NewZed Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It's a spacer for the flex plate. You need to remove it anyway to mount your flywheel. Pretty sure it just pries off easily. Then the seal will be exposed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledgekincaid Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I’ll take the dumb post of the day. Front adapter plate came off, obviously. I’ll get that thing off first thing in the AM. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Don't worry. That's a common mistake people make with auto to manual swaps, and not just on S30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
