Im getting a lot of different answers for this so i thought i would give it a lash on here. I know with the series 1 v6 it came with 2 different bolt patterns on the crank 1 for flex plate 1 for flywheel, would anyone know if this is the same with the series 2 motor? or can u bolt a flywheel up to an auto motor

cheers

you would have to have a look. i know its 5 bolt for auto and 6 bolt for manual (or vice versa) for the series one engine.
pretty sure you can bolt a flex plate from a series 1 motor onto a series 2 motor but i definately know you cant bolt a series one flywheel onto a series 2 motor

Series one
5 bolt crank for auto
6 bolt crank for manual

series 2
5 bolt crank for both

Please correct me if im wrong

mmm heard that somewhere too. also heard series 2 auto will take a series 1 flywheel. also heard series 2 motors are all the same. i dont reckon i will know for sure til i pull it out.

i definately know you can't put a series 1 flywheel onto a series 2 engine. have tried to do a manual conversion into an auto vr and couldn't use the flywheel as the flywheel and 5speed came out of a series 1 vn

[avh_308]

oh ok did u finish the conversion? or give up?

ended up just puttin the auto back in cos the guy didn't want to spend 500 on a flywheel. Honestly i would of bought the flywheel lol

series 1 motor manual had a 6 bolt flywheel and the auto had the 8 bolt flex plate same as series 2 motors

u carn't get a serie 1 flywheel redrilled to suit a series2 as they have a different offset

i have convereted a few vr's to manual and used series 2 conversion vn/vp

as for the wiring i used a series 2 vn/vp engine loom and then had to run a few extra wires but everything worked as it was ment too

yeah the cars already manual but the motor is getting real old just seeing if i could get any motor in there or if i have to look for a manual one
