counter weight tranny question...
I need help...I need to see a pic of a counter weight that works with an act setup...the weight that I left installed was connected to a gikken set-up and might be the reason why the tranny is hitting the pressure plate half inch from the engine.

thanks for the pics arc, would it be possible to get a pic of the spacing between the flywheel and engine. I'm trying to see if that's where my problem is at. Or just a measurement from the engine to the flywheel. Thanks again.

the inside of the tranny housing made contact with the pressure plate, so I'm thinking that some how the FW/clutch/pressure plate is extended to far out. the only thing that I'm thinking is that the counter weight which I did'nt remove and had a Gikken setup attatched to it, is made for the gikken clutch only. I need some proffesional input here...Thanks in advance.

the first pic show a measurement. It's a inch from the engine to the back of the flywheel, and 3 inches from the engine to the end of the pressure plate. The pressure plate has paint scrapped off on the outer edges. that is why I think it is hitting. I even tilted the engine and tried it that way. I was hoping maybe someone is in the process of installing a clutch or has an engine out, that could verify these mesurements.

Here' a link to the Mazdatrix site with a discussion on "Identifying Rear Counterweight".
http://www.mazdatrix.com/faq/Rcounterweights.htm
Also try Crispy's site, it gives a few more views of the job.

Really, with all the proper parts, it should just go together. Double check the part numbers on the flywheel, pressure plate and see if you can figure out if you have the correct counterweight.
