Well I thought mys tarter crapped the bed today. Bought a new one put it on, still wouldn't start. Checked the inspection plate on the bell housing (like I should have done originally) and the flywheel and torque converter spin easy as you please.
So, I'll be getting a flywheel from Billy and getting it on in the next day or so.
Sucks.
How does that happen? Did it just break?

Maybe you need a billet unit. They're about $200.

jk...the stock ones are pretty thin, so I guess it just had enough.
I guess the center, yeah...Billy explained it to me, but I'm not picturing it in my head i guess. But yeah. He has a stock one, not sure if I can afford to wait on a billet. He said it's a fairly uncommon problem.
Its not the power that did it in, it was just a faulty part or was damaged on installation. Stock flexplates have seen over 1000rwhp with no problems.
FYI
Flywheel=manual trans
Flexplate=auto trans

Thanks for the correction too.Thought they were the same thing!
so did i thanks cody
hope you get it fixed up moze
Hmmm, yeah, the reasons why it shattered or broke is a mystery--since when we installed it, the tranny was already bolted up to the motor. I would love to blame the idiot who dropped the motor in (hehehe), but can we point fingers at the guy you bought it from???? If you need help slapping a new one in, let me know Moze. I have to return some tools to a tool (Virgil), so keep me informed on when you wanna do this. From putting it on the jackstands to taking it off the jackstands, you are looking at roughly 3 hours time...
