my setup, i have a 00 dx hb......with a 94 b18b with a ys1 tranny and a hcp hydro to cable kit on it, new flywheel and clutch....well this passed saturday i finished putting in the motor, and got a alot of the wiring done....well i go to start it up and i find out that the starter no good...so i did a search to see if a d series starter would work and it doesn't....but i was able to swap out the starter motor....but now the starter makes a grinding noise.....i have a starter already order....but after looking at a coulpe of things on the car. i find that it's hard as **** to crank the motor over with a ratchet, i was able to crank it before, i install the tranny to the motor..... i'm thinking it's something to do with the tranny...any input would be nice thanks...

 

bump for lunch and i need help "i should've just goton a hydro tranny"

 

its supposed to be hard to crank it by hand with everything installed.

the engine is compressing air and you are also turning a transmission.

as long as it goes all the way around you will be fine.

 

well today i jacked up the car and took the casing on the bottom of the tranny off ...so now the flywheel is in view but it looks like a bolt is stuck between the fly wheel and the tranny casing at the top ...so now i have to drop the tranny to see what this bolt is from...
