The Beast I Drive Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I had the same problem with the flywheel when i did the EA81 swap in the Beast the first time... My EA81 flywheel was 1/8"-3/16" thicker than my EA82 flywheel... I guess flywheel thicknesses vary, Jerry has had no problems with the way he uses the EA81 flywheels with the EA82 5 speeds... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 yeah , i just use the ea82 stuff.it turns out that the pressure plate was about to come off.meaning not bolted down tight.so that was probably the culprit. cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiffy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 well, i should have been worried about it. oh geeze, when I started reading that I thought the project was done for... so I was very relieved that everything worked out in the end...

I believe Jerry uses a washer to space back the starter as well when using the ea81 flywheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
