86 EA82 Clutch swap


Recommended Posts

umm clutch.....automatics dont have clutches, they have torque converters, manuals and automatics, TOTALLY different in operation. Sooo uhhh yea there could be complications on putting the clutch in the automatic, lol, it wont have a place to go.

 

Oh but im thinking you mean the engine that had the automatic. shoulda said that more clearly. Some1 should know if the flywheels are the same for autos and manuals

i said that clear as crystal. i was working on a car with a bad engine, it has a 5 speed tranny (engine had a clutch), i bought a good engine that came out of a RU with a automatic tranny. i needed to know if the clutch off the bad engine would bolt up to the good engine. but i did get it done. for those of you who want to know. its just a few bolts and a leverage bar and its off. it bolts right up to an engine that has a automatic set-up. (there is a certain way the bolts go on. the pattern will throw you off, you will be able to get all but 2 bolts in unless you get the bolt pattern right...

There's no flywheel on an auto - it's a torque converter with a steel mounting plate (called the flex plate) on the engine crank. You will have to use the complete flywheel/clutch from the manual engine. Use loctite blue on the flywheel mounting bolts as they are open to the crankcase and could leak oil of they vibrate loose.
