How the hell does my flywheel get loose? This is causing my car not to start. I can reach into the starter hole and move my flywheel in and out. Either it is cracked or loose, but how does this happen? Since it is going to be a 5 hour job it is getting a Comptech alum fw and a act hdss clutch.

 

maybe it's broken? the ring gear separated from the flywheel itself.......

 

I recently repaired a civic with a loose ring gear. Starter wood spin gear only not
the flywheel so the car wouldn't start. I believe the this could have bean caused by
a bad starter or a poor slip fit of the gear to the flywheel.We welded it and everything turned out ok.

 

I am having the shop pull the tranny next week. Car only has 50k on it, seems werid that I would have this problem.

 

Well.... how often do you beat the **** out of it?

 

What would you call "beat the ****"? I dont rag on the car, it never gets driven that much anyway. I am the second ower though.
