Hey all, I finally have 20 side projects done that I started while doing my T-5 swap and now it's time to get down to the install. My question is this, I did not mark where the weight was on the AOD flexplate for the imbalance and I was wondering if I need to install the the flywheel at a certain point or positiong for it to work properly. As far as I can tell there's no counterweight on the flywheel or anything and I want to know if I can just bolt it up and go. Any help would be appreciated.

 

i never marked it on my old car when i did the clutch, and it was fine.

i did however mark it when i did the clutch on my current car 2 weeks ago.

 

Thanks that's good to know.

 

It only goes on 1 way on the 5.0, the question is did you use the same size counter weight (it is built into the flywheel not just welded on like flex plate)? There are 3 out there for 5.0 28 oz, 50 oz, and neutral. You just have to make sure you traded to the same or the engine will be out of balance.

 

It's a 50 oz. and I'm pretty sure the flywheel is 50 as well. Which ones came with 28 oz flywheels?

 

you need bolts for a flywheel to not a flexplate, the flexplate bolts are to short and yea you get the picture pop the clutch a few time and wops there goes the flywheel.

 

I got the flywheel bolts when I bought the flywheel. They are the longer ones.

 

good

 

Non HO 5.0 302's had the 28 oz. (Like in the early mustangs and later t-bird) I think you would use a 28 for a 347 stroker also.

 

It can only go on one way...
