Remove the transmission unbolt the flywheel and replace.
Put some blue locktight on the bolt threads which hold the flywheel to the crank then torque to 55 Ft-lbs
when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is
no
The bellhousing is the part of the transmission that goes over the flywheel on the rear of the engine.
To change the flywheel or flexplate you'll need to remove the engine, transaxle or both. The flywheel or flexplate is between the engine and transaxle and is easily changed once you have clear access to the space between them.
If the starter spins but won't engage, then the Bendix is not engaging the flywheel. Remove the starter and test to see if the Bendix thrusts out, and check to see that the flywheel does not have chipped teeth.
i think u unbolt the trans and the fly wheel reconect the trans
Take the motor out of the machine, remove the shroud over the flywheel, remove the bolt holding the flywheel on, I pounded on my ring gear to remove the flywheel. spin it as you pound, after you get the flywheel off put it on a little piece of 2x4 in the center and you can knock the ring gear off the flywheel with a hammer and a drift. When you get the new ring gear put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and it should fall on the flywheel. I have had to lightly tap them on after warming them.
if you put a flywheel on that was not the same as the old one then it is probably going to be done again and replaced with the correct one.
It rotates the other way. Yeah, right. You CANNOT put a flywheel on backwards. It's not physically possible to mate the flywheel with the crankshaft unless it is the correct direction.
to remove the clutch from the flywheel u will 9mm 12 point make sure when u put the clutch or flywheel u torgue it down to vw spec.
