Hey guys, would someone here know what size bolt would i need to install the flywheel inspection cover on a 2g GST???

If you are not familiar with this part, its the cover that goes on the tranny where the tranny and block meet. Without the cover, the flywheel is exposed.

Thanks for you help and info!!!

also, is it true that DSM trannys are weak???
 
Solution
Not sure if this was ever answered (I'm not searching through 4 pages ;-) ), but the bolts (for AWD 6 Bolt and AWD 7 Bolt M/T Cars) (thanks, 99dsmer4g63!):

2G: Shield to block- Qty. 2 6x10mm (I believe they're 1.00mm thread pitch)
2G: Shield to trans- 8mx12mm (1.25mm as per 19Eclipse90 reminder)

1G Shield to block- Qty.2 6x12mm
1G Shield to trans- 8x12mm
Does anyone know if I can take the flywheel cover off of a Non turbo eclipse (95-99) from a salvage yard and if it will for for my 97 gs-t?
i'm sure it would but i'd like a second opinion before i head out there and spend the money ;)

You do understand that these are two completely different motors right? I don't think a 4G63 engine has much of anything in common with the 420a. As far as I know, none of our parts are interchangeable with those of the n/t motors. But, good initiative though.

yeahhh. that was a dumb question now that i think about it :beatentodeath:

My friend has a 420a and his engine is like completely backwards.. that's what i get for being on so late at night. :shhh:
 
Sorry to bring up an old thread but its the only one. I have a 2g awd with a 6 bolt. I understand I should be using a 2g awd inspection plate rather than a 6 bolt one?



I use the 6 bolt plate. I am not sure what the difference is. I never had those plates when I did my 6 bolt motor swap.
 
I have bought several of them from JNZ, not that expensive and looks awesome. Also if you are ordering that you might as well pick up the 2 that go on the head right below the timing gears on the front and back side.
