stripped flywheel!

[Defcon95tsi]

Wonderful , i buy a dsm with a stipped flywheel...yeah it just needs a starter....riiiight , anyone know if i can possibly fix the flywheel withought removing the engine?...and where i can get a light weight one? - Dale thanks in advance

I should think so, you can replace the clutch without removeing the engine, so I dont see why not.

just drop the tranny, remove the clutch, the flywheel is right there

.....?

 

[TRBOTSI]

uh...how'd your auto come with a flywheel

 

[Defiant]

Yeh, flexplate. Still, it's the disk with the teeth on the periphery. You still have to drop the transmission to replace it.

wow you people are critical...jeebus....thanks alot defiant, i worked in parts since im 14... and people have come in asking for the big gear the starter turns...i dident think calling it the "flywheel" instead of the "flexplate" would be so repremandable. i kind of feel like alittle kid that got yelled at , im hurt guys.. hurt.. , on a different note thanks again defiant for the help , im doing all my work myself here and apriciate the straight forward awnser. any more info on doing the job would be helpfull. - Dale

We just hope you've learned a valuable lesson you'll implement in the future, young man. Now, pull your pants back up and take your seat.

Its not big a deal at all, thats why were poking fun so much. It's just funny thats all. We have all made a dumb mistake and been ridden about it, no biggie...
