I am doing to auto to manual swap so I had to go buy the bolts. Do I use lock washers and locktite or just loctite? Thanks in advance.

someone answer this PLEASE
im bolting mine back up in a few days...I would like to know if I should be using loctite on it..

 

I am talking about the bolts that hold the pressure plate on.

 

yes

 

As I recall, there were no lock nuts when I removed the pressure plate. Lock nuts were not provided with the new flywheel.

 

So I have one yes.

 

i recommend a good lockwasher if there is physical room for it and make sure you use a torque wrench, hardened bolts and torque them in increments in a crossways fashion. there really is no need for loctite in my opinion. you certainly are welcome to use it but i never used it on my pressure plate bolts in 22 years of racing. BTW, there is much much less vibration w a rotary vs a piston engine... OTH, i would use it on the flywheel to eccentric shaft.

I think I will use the lock washers and no locktite.

 

I just got my tranny back on after doing the auto to manual swap, wasnt thinking of lock washers at the time. Should i be fine or should i tear everything apart and get lock washers?

 

You should be fine as long as you torqued everything to spec.

 

You don't use lockwashers on torqued parts. Thats why your supposed to use a torque wrench, at the proper torque setting it will hold.

 

I just replaced my clutch and the bolts had lockwashers on them and I believe they were grade 10 bolts. The shop manual didn't call for loctite but the bolts do need to be torqued properly.
