i am in my driveway (gravel) with rocks sticking in my back changing my 5spd out for my new 6 spd so i can go to the track on sunday and i run into problems OF COURSE no matter how many times i post threads "doing a 6spd swap is there anything i need to know?"
POINT: i have a 1985 TA original 5spd and the flywheel bolt holes are further apart then on the new 6spd flywheel (the 6spd is out of a mid 90's camaro) what do i do?

Simple. You buy the Centerforce flywheel for swapping a 6-speed onto a 2-piece rear main seal block.

Just get in touch with Thunder Racing http://www.thunderracing.com/ and they'll hook you up.

Make sure you tell them you're running a 2-piece rear main seal engine with your T56.

...and before you get feeling too sorry for yourself, maybe you should have read firechicken's reply to your most recent "Is there anything I should know" post. He pointed out on 8/7/02 that the flywheel wouldn't fit your engine.

Now go slap yourself, get the right flywheel, and put that sucker together. You're gonna love it when it's on the road!

i just pointed out that the t5 flywheel won't work with the t56 clutch.

i did not point out the fact that the flywheel from the lt1 car would not work due to a different sized crankshaft pattern, i thought it had been pointed out already.

you will need to get the aftermarket one that is specifically made to use that style clutch on the pre 86 engine.

i hear its about $350

and downwithET in response to that email, i do not need that flywheel have one on its way to me already

yes the flywheel is about $350 and that was about the cheapest i could find it. if you still dont have the part number do a search under my screen name and you will find at least 5 posts that have the part number the flywheel you need. not your fault you didnt know that 87 up motors have a one peice rear main and the crank hub is totally different, but better research would have solved that. surely you didnt just order stuff without researching anything.
