Flexplate for a 6bolt

[kyledykstra]

I'm putting my 6bolt from a 1990 TSI AWD (5 speed) into a '93 automatic AWD. From what I've read on all the DSM sites I could find, all I need is a flexplate from a 6bolt to make everything mate up correctly. I haven't been able to find much on a MT -> AT swap (maybe that should tell me something ).

Any ideas on a place to find one other than the dealer is also appreciated, as well as any install tips

Kyle <-- first time not finding an answer by searching

There is really no tips needed. It's pretty straight forward. You answered your own question. You just need a 1G 6 bolt Flexplate. Put some wanted ads up on the classifieds or something. Mating a 1G to a 1G is not anything different. Now mating a 6 bolt to a 2G auto tranny is a challenge. On your 1G you just swap your flywheel out with a flexplate. That's pretty much it.

putting a manual motor in you will have to do something aout the dowel pin that sticks out so you can line up a flywheel. there is no hole in the flex plate for it.

are you talking about the dowels that align the tranny to the block? because he's talking about putting a 93 auto tranny onto a 6 bolt that originally had a 5 speed. He doesnt need any dowel pins for the flywheel because he wont have one. Its just the flexplate and the torque converter that needs to be bolted together

on the crank where the 6 bolt holes are for the flywheel there is a dowel pin that comes out of it so you can put the flywheel on and bolt it up. i had this issue on my auto. we just shaved it down.
