well i found out today my motor is not lockedup its fine but i need a cluch and presure plate lol








what had hapned is that bolt lodged inbetwen the presure plate and the bellhousing thus locking everything up....

now for a new presure plate clutch and new hoses for everything then the motor goes back in with a new radiator...

 

is that a 12a or 13b?

 

12a

 

Ouch!!! FYI I would never just secure the hoist's hook to the single eylet on the motor. That eylet is secured with one bolt though t small securing tab on these motors. If it were to break at the motor youd loose your motor and damage other things.

Also since you have the motor out you should consider cleaning the grime off. Doing so will allow you to view possible leaks. That and make for a great before and after photos!!!

 

yea i didnt like the one tab thing but it worked when i putit back in it will have two tieins if not more lol i dont like the thought of having a motor drop on somthing or me lol as soon as it was out we droped it down on the ground so it wasnt being held by that for long thanks for the warning man

as for cleaning it yea i plan on cleaning it off and out im gona goahead and replace the oilpan gasket cuz i can tellits seeping..and yea i want to make sure theres nothing other leakin

 

oh, I had a spare PP and clutch here for a 13b lol. Nice damage though :P

 

oh yea i just got the car the clutch wasintaled befor i got it so i had no clue about the bolt being in there but yea the presure plate is toast i just scored a clutchmaters clutch that i will beinstaling as soon as i get it

 

Proper toque and Locktite are your friends. The PP bolts are Grade 10/12 and will strip threads on the flywheel.

 

thing is allt he bolts for the clutch and flywheel are there from what i can see its a rondom bolt that doesnt belong there lol

 

Check the tranny input shaft bolts.

 

i wil do that i didnt think about that i know i saw two that where in it still how man are there??

 

is there another bolt behind the shift fork on the bellhousing? or maybe thats what trochoid means...

 

i just checked that out and none of the bolts are missing from the tranny or the motor so yea its just some random bolt all the bolts are there for the input shaft and the ones behind the clutch fork......so yea wired it is

 

haha thats the same lift i have. squashed my front licence plate lol.
