Hi guys. I have a very wierd problem that I dont know the cause of. Heres the deal... I just dropped in my fresh 6 bolt. I bought brand new Fidanza aluminum flywheel off someone here on tuners. It was advertised as AWD which is what I needed. I bolted the flywheel to the crank then aligned an also new SBR 4000 Clutch setup. After I had the tranny and the transfer case all bolted up, I decided to try and turn the crank pulley to make sure everything was good... well it wasnt. It would only turn about an inch each way and i could hear it hitting something in the bellhousing. So I pull the tranny off again and the damn pressure plate is hitting a hump on the bottom right side of the bellhousing. Im stumped as to why its hitting. Could it be that I got a FWD flywheel or could it be something else. When I bolted the flywheel to the crank I noticed it stuck out rather far from the block like the offset wasnt right or something but i continued anyway. Also, How can I tell if I have an AWD or FWD flywheel. Thanks alot tuners.
 
Wel,l the flywheel measured out to the AWD so I still have no clue. Anyone have ever have a similar problem? Any more ideas? thanks tuners.
