Just like the title says, i just picked up a flywheel for my 5spd LS tranny, im doin a auto to 5spd conversion, so i dont know too much about the tranny but i was lookin at it and there doesnt look like theres any place for the flywheel to bolt up. so im wondering what piece do i need to get to mount the flywheel. im so close, i hate my damned automatic. thanks.

 

The flywheel bolts to the crankshaft.

 

Flywheel bolts to the crank like he said. You won't see where it bolts until you remove your transmission.

Also, when you bolt the flywheel on you should get new bolts. Flywheel bolts are longer than the flexplate bolts you have now. The bolts you'll see will say "AT" on head and the correct bolts (you can get them from the dealer) will say "MT" on them.

Since I have this pic, I will contribute it 17mm 12-pt bolts going thru ClutchMasters 7.5 lb. flywheel into the crankshaft.

 

Don't forget the thread lock blue

yeah i am a pic *****...

 

the pictures everyone is showing you are great, however they seemed to have missed a few things. First off, if you have the transmission off im sure you are looking dead in the face a torque converter as well as a flex plate (that thing with the holes in it). Yeah, these need to be removed. Oh yeah, PS: the flex plate bolts look identical from the top, however are too short too get all the way through the new flywheel and subsequently will need to be replaced with flywheel bolts.

Hope this helps any. Oh yeah, follow the torque sequence. I would recomend breaking it down into 3 seperate sets. Ex: if the value given is 75ft lbs dont go directly to 75, rather do 25 first on all, then 50, and finally 75. This will ensure more even distribution and proper seating of the 2 surfaces.

Good luck

 

thanks alot guys, that CM flywheel looks nice how do u like it?

What tool do you use to remove these bolts? They look like they have too many sides to use a normal socket wrench...

 

12 point 17mm socket

 

also if your takin off a flywheel by chance...your gunna need something to keep the flywheel from spinning....or else you could damage your fingers in the flywheel teeth

 

i also believe the bolts for the flexplate says "AT" on them and the bolts for the flywheel says "MT" on them.

 

Do people actually read posts before replying to them? Just curious.

thanks for the info. Cant recall that the bolts were marked as such, but could have been. Anyone to verify?&gt;???
