What was the reason for using the extended bolts? Aluminum flywheel? I know some people using an aluminum flywheel use them because of the smaller thickness of the bolt surface. Some use extended bolts with the auto spacer plate, some just use regular length OEM bolts. Both methods seem to work fine, but I have heard of the extended ones bottoming out on some cranks, especially without the spacer plate.


Compliments from GH? You must be doing something right haha

Btw great job man

Anyone doing their own work deserves some sort of pat on the back. Not something 90% of you evo guys would know about though. ;)

Orderd the studs not knowing they. Where longer. They where about a 1/4" longer at the most. And when the flywheel was attached to the crank I used a screwdriver to determine how deep the flywheel and crank hole is. And it was deeper then the bolt is long. We will have to see going to mess with it tonight.

Yea, I think they are 3-4mm longer IIRC

Trans is going to come out tonight to find out what the issue is. I hope ot is easy to see what was going on in there.

Well got a lot done today. trans got pulled and the flywheel studs where the issue. there was about 1/16" of play. The flywheel looked fine because It was only on for about 15 miles at max.

So Cornfed2.4 helped me get the trans back on with some oem flywheel bolts.

Tomorrow I need to install the intercooler piping, cross member, and exhaust.
Go get some gear lube for the trans, and it should be good to go.

Good to hear it was something simple.
