How do you install a flywheel on a 1988 Chevy 350?

Answer 1

Big job. To replace a flywheel, you need to remove the drive shaft,and the gearbox. iIf a manual transmission,you will also need to remove the clutch and pressure plate.If an automatic, you will need to remove the torque converter. With all this removed, you then remove the flywheel and replace with new one. then reinstall clutch,etc gear box and driveshaft.It is a good idea at this time ,if a manual transmission,to replace the clutch,while you have it apart. "NOTE" make sure when you replace flywheel that the correct number of teeth on flywheel will match number of teeth on starter motor.To do this mark a tooth on the flywheel and count the teeth.Alos count the teeth on the starter motor.installing wrong one will chew up the teeth on new flywheel and starter and then you will have to start all over.
