- Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and the manual transmission flywheel. Refer to Engine Balancing .
- Remove the automatic transmission engine flywheel and bolts.
- Remove the manual transmission engine flywheel and bolts.
Important:
• For manual transmission applications, note the position and direction
of the engine flywheel before removal. The flywheel does not use a locating
pin for alignment. Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and the flywheel
before component removal. The existing manual transmission engine flywheel
must be installed to the original position and direction. The engine flywheel
will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be pulled
onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires
a three stage tightening process. • DO NOT remove the propshaft hub or flexplate from the automatic transmission
engine flywheel. The flywheel, propshaft hub, and flexplate are balanced
as an assembly. If service is required, the entire flywheel assembly should
be replaced.
