Flywheel

[JinormusJ]

I just got a question for my upcoming swap...

When the torque converter is taken off with the auto tranny... How does the flywheel mount..? I only have a flywheel, but I just thought about it, and I came to the realization that I don't have any bolts to mount it to my engine.. Are there any on the torque converter that are interchangeable..?

no. you will need flywheel bolts. either from bmw or arp might do a set.

Im pretty sure the starter wheel bolts from the auto are the same thing. But some people like to get new ones anyway.

Just buy new ones, they arent that expensive to begin with.

Not sure if its true with e30s, but Ive noticed that auto "flywheels" (aka Flex-plates) tend to be thinner than manual flywheels and use shorter bolts.

Yay.. More money to dish out lol... At least I know now and not later like in the middle of my swap..

Thanks guys! :)
