Silly question about a 5spd swap

[suprabrit]

When I did the 5spd swap on my old car, the motor already had a 5spd flywheel...my question is, when swapping a car with an auto flywheel, do I need different flywheel bolts as well?

Sorry for the dumb question...:crying:

Yes. You will need the 5 speed flywheel bolts.

[Wes]

Yup, you need the MT flywheel bolts, they're longer if I remember right.

[suprabrit]

Thanks...I thought so. Those should be fun...cuz I'm not getting a flywheel or anything at a junkyard, so I don't want to have to pull a trans just to get the bolts...anyone know the size, length, and thread pitch? I can probably just buy some bolts here...

[hellfire]

I think I have some.. I'll look. You'll know if you find them, they say "MT" as opposed to "AT" on the head.

That would be amazing dude! Saves me the hassle...I heard they're not cheap at the dealer...

i would just use oem nissan bolts.
i dont trust bolt stores for flywheel bolts... i mean think about it all the torque and hp gets transfered through those 6 bolts.

[suprabrit]

Yeah I just thought about that...they're made of hardened steel. $5 a pop at Nissan... $30 > a few hours at a junkyard droppin a trans for used bolts. ;)

I get a discount through Napa.

I found 5 sitting on my shelf at the shop. Not sure if there are supposed to be 6?

I could find another though.

How about half price, $15 bucks?

[badass240]
