auto to manaul. bolts on flexplate. work for fly wheel

[str8jdmswap]

i am changing my transmission from automatic to manual. i have everything..but my question is for the fly wheel can i use the bolts from my flexplate. because i the bolts the fly wheel had stripped.. so i need to knoe will there be any problem if i use the bolts from my flexplate. to the fly wheel.

They are different sizes. I am sure u need the actual flywheel bolts.

The flex plate bolts are way shorter and will NOT work... the bolts arnt to much at the dealer just get the right ones

[HondaFan81]

Get the right fasteners, I'd go new OEM. They also have different torque specs. You're talking a high RPM rotating object here, RPMs are that of your engine tachometer. Need I say more or do you want to be another "my tranny is making funny noises KABOOM!!" victim...

[C91BLX7]

RPMs are that are twice your engine tachometer.

[HondaFan81]

Twice...really....

[loud92CB7]

check out the guys of tasauto they got the pressureplate bolts im not sure on crank bolts.do u have clutch line and dampner? and all the other lines for the clutch?

[C91BLX7]

Twice...really....

Yeah. Crank rotates twice for every one rotation of camshaft, and RPMs are read off of the cam.

Im not trying to flame you but Im not quite understanding what you are talking about. I have performed this job and I want to help you. can you please explain your situation a little better?? From what I understand you would like to use the bolts from the flex plate in place of your fly wheel bolts How did you strip your flywheel bolts??Did you use the flywheel bolts from a 5spd??Please give a more descriptive paragraph on what you would like to know.

ok i got the bolts and now i ran into another problem. my motor mounts arent lineing up.

[91kid]

how so? like the motors hitting something or?

[cb7_ex_coupe]

did you get the 5 spd tranny mount???

So you replaced your auto flywheel bolts with the 5spd flywheel bolts. Correct.

did you get the 5 spd tranny mount???

This is where the confusion comes in to play. You have 2 options:

1. Remove auto bracket and weld a 5 spd bracket on your car.

The auto bracket and manual brackets are different and the auto bracket sits about 1 1/2 inch further towards the firewall than the manual bracket. Thats why you are having alignment issues. I would also used a 5spd trans mount too. I got the exact measurements in my sig somewhere.

2. Get the ESP mounts.

These mounts would compensate for the 1 1/2 inch and bolt right to the auto mount. no welding needed as far as i have read.

Theres are 2 solutions that you can go by to correct your problem. I also recommend you do some more research and homework. Then evaluate your situation. You would understand a whole lot better than you do now.
