Thread: Need Help!! Gearbox/engine/flywheel!?!?

hmmm it appears hope has faded away once again lol..

the ENTIRE flywheel is spinning freely... okay well the little nubs on the flywheel thats in my car, isnt good, its damaged, the flywheel that i bought has all three nubs for the pressure plate...i have a picture here its very dirty but i'll post it up..i've already taken out two bolts when i took this photo so you will see two free bolt holes so dont think anything of it lol the part the is spinning (the entire flywheel) i placed it in a red square box

Let me just get this straight, the entire flywheel is spinning freely, including the part of the flywheel that attaches to the crankshaft(the 8 bolts holding it down.. does that spin)?


The part where the 8 bolts (well 6) are should spin... I'm hoping something here is lost in translation..


it almost looks like the center section where it is connected to the flywheel is separated from the "outer part" of the flywheel.. once again everything round and rusty brown in that picture should move together..


Just take off that flywheel.. I think you'll find the problem when you do..

lol i'll be right bak, although its 4.15am here now, im going to go outside and spin it to make sure that i am very sure of what is going on...but from all that i did..is that i held it by the ends like where u see the teeth *ring gear* and i spin it, and it spin..i am going to see if the smal part is spinning.

I bet you it's seperated into two pieces.


Yeah, it's pretty late here too. 3:20 a.m., haha

okay just did it, well i think this is great news...the BIG part, or the bigger cycle is spinnin..the little wheel where the bolts are on, is not moving at all..i cant seem to move it with my hand..however when we were taking out the bolts it was spinning,but that is only due to us trying to remove the bolts to take off the flywheel, other than that it seems impossible to spin it with my hand (the small circle with the bolts that is)

Yes, there you go! it's the flywheel.. separated.. Take that bitch off and replace it with the new one you have!

I think you can safely say that nothing else has been harmed, save for that poor old rusty flywheel.

YES!!! I LOVE THIS SITEE!!!!! LOL!!!

Im SOOO HAPPY! im going to do that in the morning..

the only problem im having is trying to get the bolts off since when im trying to take it off it spins, its so difficult..

i've also posted up a thread in this same Gereral SR20 section..about my ECU>.care to take a look guys.

If you have a helper have them hold the crankshaft pulley with a wrench. If you don't have a helper or your dog is not that dextrous, find a pipe and lodge it against the wheel well and slip it over the wrench on the crankshaft pulley. The pipe should stop the crank from moving and you'll have a lot more leverage against those flywheel bolts. Glad I could help you out man.

once again thanks alot wildmane..i'm guessing your from the US? or somewhere around there..

and well yea i'll get someone to hold the crank shaft pulley, while i take out the bolts...

anything with that ECU?
