hey guys... i have a quick question. How long would it take a average mechanic to put in a flywheel? Should I replace things in the way while i am at it? sorry for the questions but i have an automatic... you think i will still benefit from a lightened flywheel? thanks for the tips

 

It will take along time, since you dont even have a flywheel. You have a automatic which uses a torque converter..And no you will not benefit from it, because again you dont have a flywheel.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! thats funny....newbies...
you know what would be even funnier????

[moment of silence]

anyone???

ok....

if he already bought the flywheel!!!!

wait...how the hell does he start his car then??? dont you need a flywheel with teeth on it so the starter teeth can turn the flywheel teeth and turn the engine over?? or are hondas different?? ok its time to go to sleep..ive been studying too much....brain fried

it's called a flex plate, its basically a super thin but strong flywheel, almsot looks like it's made from some like 3/16" sheet metal or something, bolts onto the crankshaft same as a flywheel, has teeth and all, and the torque converter attaches to it, so, i guess it *could* be considered a type of flywheel

Yea, change the tranny and ECU while you're in there. And route the MC and hardlines, and mount the pedal assembly and you'll be fine.
