Tranny
I already searched the archive. The other day i was launching my 93 and the flywheel broke loose. apparently who ever worked on it last didnt tighten the bolts and it sheered. well i went and had it fixed. it now is a tad harder to shift from 1st to second. feels like it is catching in first. The guy said that it was a barb or bur or something like that in 1st. but that it was in my best intrest not to worry about it and that id get used to it (expensive). i dont understand why they didnt fix it when they had the car apart. im guess that when the flywheel came loose it nicked something. any of you guys ever heard of this. do you think it would smooth out over time?

Sheer stress is caused from overtorquing a bolt to the point it fatigues then fails... thus sheering at the weakest point. If he did not properly torque the bolts when installing the flywheel they would most likely back out from harmonic vibrations. This could also lead to other bolts coming loose and your flywheel assembly being off balance which could lead to a whole world of damage to your motor.

A what? Call him back up and get the proper terminology so we can help you. It should not be hard to shift into first if everything was properly installed.

Re: Tranny (PrecisionH23a)
the guy meant that it was catching on something. like the flywheel had nicked something and its is catching just a tad on whatever it was. its no biggie...just sort of an inconvienence since i have to use a lil bit more strength to shift it to 2nd.
