MaTTSuN Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 i just got all my wire's all hooked up and i went to turn the car over and the start just spins, it does pop out because i checked it unmounted. everything work it just seems to be off somehow. i have a 81turbo motor that was auto, with my 78 5 spd and flywheel. ive used boath starts from the turbo and the 78 they look the same. is ther something i have to do to the n/a flywheel to make it sit closer to the starter? i bet ther is but i dont wanna take the ol trannie back out if i dont have to.......grrrr Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 found it, had to take the trannie out, just what i didnt want to do. well for the next person that does this remember there is a spacer for the automatic trannie'e flywheel. remember to take it off befor you put your manual trans flywheel on.... haha thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 ummm... there is a spacer, correct with the automatic flexplate, but when you remove it you have access to where the pilot bushing should be installed... you did install the pilot bushing in the back of the block right?

SleeperZ Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm surprised you were able to attach the flywheel to the crank with the spacer attached....before I knew about this, and tried to bolt it on, I was distressed that it didn't fit.

MaTTSuN Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 pilot bushing? i asume that centers the flywheel? or does it center the clutch disk? well anyways i could bolt the flywheel on fine with the spacer, the ceter hole on the flywheel fit over the the spacer fine... i just hope everything works fine when i go to start it up, cant wait to hear my turbo for the first time with my 3" downpipe im sure it will shoot some flames till i get some more pipe on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 yep. Pull out the trans again! You need that bushing! The transmission will not like running without it. The bushing goes in the hole in the rear of the crank. I bet the transmission stabbed in real easily without the bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 well it would have went back in really easy if i put it back in.... ill be sure to put one in so i dont mess anything up, dont wanna try and do a kool turbo burnout and have everything break. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
