it should be bolt-on but the Intake manifold will probably have to be ported.

-Put the dash and console back together. no way I'm keeping it taken apart longer than I need to.
-Got the flexplate out
-Transferred all of the roller brackets on the manual as well as the studs for the mount.
Some issues I ran into
-The shifter cable plate bolts were a bitch to remove. Just take your time and be patient. I ended up using the swivel ratcheting wrench. Once I got my hands in the little space and got the wrench on the bolt just take your time and it'll come off. My hands hurt after but I got it out.
-Installing them is also almost as big of a PITA if you are doing it alone. I had my buddy line the cable out from the engine bay (once the trans was out) so I can put the right side bolt in. I put the left side bolt in from the opposite side just so the plate isnt sitting floppy
-The bellhousing bolts are 14mm. I used a 15mm the whole time until I got to one of the bolts in the bay and the 14mm worked better since I couldnt get the 3/8" ratchet in there and had to use the 1/4"
-With the flexplate and flywheel, when I was doing my research, 4G63mighty max said he re-used his flexplate botls for the flywheel but when I took the flexplate off, the bolts were in no way being able to be used on the flywheel. Maybe it's cuz I have an 02 motor but I now need the flywheel bolts for the 5-speed. I'll order it at the dealer since thats my only option. I also need bolts for the pressure plate.
Here is the issue with the bolts
Front of flywheel

back of flywheel.

Now, you can see once the two adapters are installed, there is no way those bolts are
going to work for the flywheel
So I need the flywheel bolts and (dont hate) but I managed to forget I needed the mount for the manual. lol. So I should get paid tomorrow and order the mount from rockauto and order the bolts from the dealer. I am now just waiting on the select lever from Stewi and I should be able to put the manual in, hook up the lines and cables, put the axles and the suspension back together, and fill her up with gearlube, some DOT3 brake fluid, bleed the clutch system and adjust the pedal.

Heavy as shit, removing that cow should give me atleast 10 whp. lmao.

The manual after I stole parts off of the automatic.

torque converter and the auto shifter. The converter was one of the culprits for the shitty drivetrain loss the galant have that thing is fucking heavy as hell.

Looks like it was 5-speed from the factory in the interior now. :)

SI!!!!! lol
Dude....I totally spaced the flywheel bolt issue! Marc and I ha the same fn problem when we put his on too. We had to find some bolts about 3/8"-1/2" longer just to get it to thread on and be secured
You made good progress though man
Did you guys just go to a parts store and got longer bolts or did you go to the dealer? Cuz, it will probably be cheaper at a parts store if I could do that you know?
edit: and you wouldn't happen to know the size and thread pitch would ya?
We went to a hardware store I believe, otherwise pulled them from the bolts bin here at the shop. I had to use a grinder on the end of the bolt because they were about 1/8" too long. I dont know off my head what the size/pitch was. We just took on of the stock bolts to the store and had them matched up with just a difference in length.Quote:

Good looking out matt. I forgot you ground them down a little. Hmm jigz your flywheel is aftermarket if the flexplate bolts don't fit. Looks just like how my lightened flywheel looked with the stock bolts
yeah I nguess its aftermarket. hmmm... I guess I'll just get some bolts.
If they are the same as the V6 flywheel bolts, I believe they are M12x1.5Quote:

I ordered the flywheel bolts from the dealer along with the pressure plate bolts. Unfortunately i wont be able to pick them up 'til Thursday so I wont be able to work on the galant 'til then. =/
Did you order OEM bolts from the dealer?? We were going to do that with Marc's clutch install but the OEM bolts we took off were still too short and even OEM replacements would have been the same length...maybe you found another OEM application to use then???Quote:

I also ordered the flywheel bolts for the 02 Eclipse instead of the Galant.
Ahhh, you are good to go with those then I would think. Marc and I were hung up in his install on a saturday with crap all tore apart lol. Pretty much just the sit and wait game now...it blows.Quote:

Hey two days isn't bad...I havent even driven mine and its been about 8 months lol
lol. I guess I should stop bitching then. lolQuote:

Just so that this is noted, the dealers listing for "Flywheel bolts" for the 3G is the same size and length as the flexplate bolts. Good thing I didnt pay for them.
Anyways, was ATTEMPTING to put the trans in today but no dice. I ended up getting some M12 x 1.25 bolts from NAPA for the flywheel and one of the threads on one of the bolts stripped so I need to get another new bolt but NAPA was closed by te time I started to work on the car. So I'm going tomorrow morning to get more bolts.
I do have one concern though, with the longer bolts, once the two flywheel washers and the flywheel is on, the bolt only protrudes about a little over an 1/8th of an inch out the back, will this work or do I DEFINITELY need new bolts?
When we did Marc's clutch I think we had about 1/4-3/8" actually threading into the crank. Having 1/8" only threaded in may work, but it is very risk that it could twist the bolts right out of the crank and as a result stripping the bolt threads and threading in the holes too.
Atleast we know the OEM flywheel and flexplate bolts are identical now, the aftermarket flywheels are probably much thicker than OEM.
did you use hardened steel bolts or just regular bolts?
Meh 1/8 of a inch is NOT GOING TO WORK DONT TRY IT. When threading a bolt that has to sustain any type of force it is a must to have at least 1 and a 1/2 times the diameter of the bolt threaded into the hole.Quote:

Yeah, I'm just gonna order 2G GS-T flywheel bolts. my swap is going to be at a standstill for a couple more weeks... =/Quote:

They must've, cuz I swear those bolts were the same as the flexplate bolts.Quote:

Worse comes to worse I need to find a Genuine Mitsu flywheel.
I just ordered the 7-bolt flywheel bolts from EXTREMEPSI.
They better be the right length.
