well thats what i said earlier that they arnt torqued right or are loose.
however i did just see on horsepower tv that if you dont remove the protective sealant on the flywheel that it will cause chattering. --------------------  hows it taste motha f*cka |

Protective sealant? Like the finish of the flywheel needs to be ground off or something? Also, do you have any photos of how you held your engine up while the tranny was out of the car? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Dude jack the car up and work on the bellhousing from below .. you won't need to support the engine..
I dunno what he means by "protective sealant" there is none on a flywheel (unless he's talking grease in the center of it and that's good). Does ur flywheel have all one surface or does it have inserts like the fidanza ones... if it is one material it would probably be worth getting it machined as it will bite nicer but that's all it will do. I shoulda taken some pictures when my car was on the lift.. but I was working pretty hard. Like I said before, it is VERY important you have had the clutch plate and flywheel balanced together... this could definately be causing the chatter, even if they are not loose.

Are you sure? I don't need to brace the engine or anything when pulling the tranny off of the car? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

ok I thought the mounts would hold it fine. my guy didn't brace it though, he just had the car up on a lift...

 just 2 4x4 blocks and a plywood peice that is thick enough to hold the motor.I put carboard under the 4x4 so it doesnt scrape the paint. In order to drop a trans you have to remove all 3 mounts. therefore the motor must be braced. the 7a has a hook on the side that the rope is tied to. you can probably brace it from the oil pan but you would need to put a peice of wood in between the jack and the pan so the pressure is distributed. as far as bracing and pulling the trans we put a jack under it with a peice of wood and we had a rope wrapped around the trans and the board holding the motor so the trans wouldn't just fall down. also the protective sealant. there is one on flywheels and one on the pressure plate face where it touches the clutch. use brake fluid or paint thinner to remove it. just wipe it on and then wipe it off, its corrosiveness will take the sealant off. hit me on aim Scheetz316 if you got any questions. --Scott This post has been edited by Sev408: Jul 14, 2004 - 10:27 PM -------------------- hows it taste motha f*cka |

yea you can but put a nice thick pice of wood to protect the oil pan and just put a jack stand there.. if you have all the mounts yes it will hold but onve you take one away your just putting extra stress on the other ones..and on the frame.. -------------------- |
