    I had that same problem with the starter not engaging the flywheel, but this was when I was using my auto starter. I installed a 5spd starter(from a 95 I think) and it engages now. You could always schim the starter gear so it sticks out farther.

    the AWD flywheel is smaller in diameter....

    best part about this whole thing is that i return it because its been 2 months..... i asked for a FWD he typed up for an AWD.... paper work says AWD.... but i know what i asked for...

    I just realized I bought a 2g turbo AWD flywheel, damn it has to have been over 3 months ago. ANY problems to run a AWD flywheel? would the flywheel make a difference??

    Its smaller in diameter therefore you would either have to mod the stock starter or somehow use an awd starter. Not even sure if that would work, just sell it and buy a FWD flywheel, make things easy on yourself

    the AWD flywheel is smaller in diameter the starter is not going to be able to catch the flywheel to turn it.....

    yeah i got the findaza flywheel.. 8lbs... real light.... but theres only one down fall to this flywheel, your will decelerate quietly..... i love it.... you'll just have to learn a new way of driving....

    does anybody know of anywhere in NY that will do the auto to 5spd swap. I donĀ“t have the space tools or the room to do it myself. Although I would love to but. I can buy the parts if need be and have someone else do it if anyone knows where i can get it done.

    Thought I might add this since people are having problems when using old shift balls and forks. If your shift fork doesn't look like this you need to adjust it with shims or you will have problems with your clutch.


    and this is the pic to adjust the pedal

    The sensor on the top front of the trans. Would have to have the original pigtail/connector or use generic connectors from autozone.
