AW11 flywheel Q #2

**McFly 11** · 02-01-2008, 02:22 PM

Get ready for the noob Q of the day =)

After dropping the auto off my AW11 in preparation to install a manual box, I found the auto "flywheel" had 2 metal plates with 8 holes (to match the bolt pattern), one on either side of it, as spacers/washers.

These aren't mentioned in the BGB at all. Are they to be reinstalled with a manual flywheel, or should one (or both) be left off?

Cheers,
Luke / McFly 11

get rid of the whole thing. Bolt on flywheel with new bolts from toyota torqued to spec.

the auto "flywheel" is actually called a flex plate. As Cuzzo has said, remove the whole lot, and install the correct manual tramsmission flywheel and 8 new toyota or ARP flywheel bolts. You'll also need 6 clutch cover bolts as well.

Thanks mate,

Got the new bolts and MT flywheel together all ready to go

. I'll bin the spacer/washers off with the rest of the AT gear then.

Edit: Thanx Psycho - I was aware of that (although I would have used 'drive plate' as per BGB) but to save confusion I used the commas instead

I had them loosely-fitted with the MT fly but they are off now

Here is a reference pic of the spacer and washer plate thingy:

yeah i recently had a customer have an issue
aw11 getting a 20v.
donor motor was auto
he fitted those spacers
lucky he found the source of the rattling before the flywheel came off.....
