250 T5 starter
so i hope i dont have to pull the transmission and remove the flywheel. I used a clutch and flywheel from a 85 camaro and it seems this is smaller than my original was. currently when i hit the starter the starter wheel pops out and doesn't contact the flywheel due to I believe it being smaller. i checked the starter for a 85 camaro and it looks like it mounts differently than my 65 c10 starter. i also checked the other compatibly for the flywheel and it is also a 66 C10 look a starter up for a 66 C10 and it is the same part number as a 65 C10. any other suggestion?

Re: 250 T5 starter
UGH... learn something new i guess... would i need to get a new clutch also or would my current clutch 85 camaro clutch work?
this is the LAST thing i need also. i have everything set timing roughly in and just ready to start it.. i keep telling myself pulling the trans and bell housing wont take that long. i know i could get it done in less than a day |

Try to get an 11" clutch disc with a compatible flywheel, but 10" will work too (standard for a C10 clutch package). The 11" should be about the same price as the 10".

Re: 250 T5 starter
Edit: Call my friend Richie and ask him what 168 tooth flywheel will accept a 26 spline 10.4" clutch package. He may know what flywheel takes an 11" clutch kit with 26 splines. I know a 1992 Camaro 5.0L clutch package has 26 splines and is 10.4".

The same year flywheel should be 168 tooth.

Re: 250 T5 starter
Will I be able to remove the clutch and flywheel without removing the bell housing?.. Just rotate the clutch around till all bolts are loose then reach up and remove the flywheel bolts?

Your 153 tooth FW is smaller so it will come out pretty easy I'd guess. If the bell must be removed, just use a block of wood and a floor jack to support the engine beneath the oil pan so you can get the bell off without the engine tilting.

Re: 250 T5 starter
I was able to remove the incorrect clutch and flywheel without removing the bellhousing. it was no fun but doable. the correct parts will be at the auto parts store tomorrow AM.

Re: 250 T5 starter
Once you're to the point of having the trans out, it is only 8 bolts and the bellhousing will be off and out of your way. It is a whole lot easier to change the flywheel and clutch without the bellhousing in the way.

Re: 250 T5 starter
So i Finally got the correct clutch/flywheel. i ordered from oriellys as i try to buy local. its easy if parts are not correct and can usually get them that day. I pick up the parts and want to double check the cluch/flywheel bolt together. no matter what i do i cant get the bolts to line up. i measure the flywheel and its about 1-1/2 to big. go down and get a 2nd one. its the exact same as first. guy behind the counter is unsure of what is going on but is aware its the incorrect flywheel. i go to autozone and they cant even get a fly wheel. so i go to napa they got one at a different store. go there and boom its the correct flywheel and 50 bucks cheaper than oreillys was.
