Car is apart again... this is a new one for me *pics and vid*

[qwik01cobra]

I think I have seen it all now.... LOL If something happens it happens to me. I guess thats how I have learned so much and how to do jobs faster and easier. I had this all apart in just under an hour

Thought I had a bad starter, then I thought that my flywheel to crank bolts came lose cause the starter wasnt spinning the flywheel and the flywheel was moving when I pushed on the teeth through the inspection sheild on the bellhousing for the clutch. So I just pulled my trans, clutch, and flywheel only to find out that the ring on the flywheel that the teeth are on is spinning freely on the flywheel. WTF???? I have a couple pics and a video of what its doing below.

I guess the question is.... has anyone seen this happen before and whats the next step? Can I get the ring tac welded back onto the flywheel and call it good? Or do I have to just get a new flywheel?

I would send that video to the flywheel manufacturer and see if they'll replace it or at least re-emburse you.

First time Ive ever heard of anything like that....

Although youre just talking a few tac welds, would that affect the balance of the flywheel at all ??? I would think it would, so I would be on the safe side and just throw a new flywheel in there...

Modular motors are nutrally balanced. Unlike pushrod cars that have to have matching flywheel weight to balancer weight. So I dont see how it would affect anything.

MGT: I bought this flywheel like all my parts for the most part...USED lol I bought it from MustangMike and it worked perfectly fine up until now.

find out what company it is and try anyways. worst they can say is no. And when they say no tell them their product is junk and aint work the the recycling money you'd get from it then promptly hang up the phone in a slamming motion.

Jon 01Cobra has one for me. I called him a little while ago. He was going to meet up with me tonight to get it but I need to get to bed for work in the early AM. I'm sure I will get it from him tomorrow and have it re-surfaced and the car back on the road Saturday for sure.
