Question : Do manuals use a flywheel washer like the autos?

[gpchris]

I just got my flywheel.. Im not sure if I need to use the washer or not. It doesnt look like manuals used them.

Automatics use a Flexplate. Like a flywheel but thin. Flywheels do not use the reinforcement and you'll need longer bolts for the flywheel.

[gpchris]

So I need longer bolts and I dont need the washer?

[gpse3400]

For the flywheel, you do not use the reinforcment and you will need longer bolts. GM should be able to get you those.

[Superdave]

yes, do not use the automatic flex plate bolts.. you'll strip out the crank.

[gpchris]

anybody know where I can get them?

Aww man why the edit? lol I did all that for nothing.

Yeah, but gm wants like 60 or 70 bucks for them.

This is commonly over looked in a swap.

I wish I would of known, i just pulled a tranny at the yard but left the flywheel on. I could of sent you the bolts for free.
