WANTED: Vn v6 auto to manual Flywheel OR adapter

[defa]

I am after a vn v6 seriea 1 flywheel to suit an auto motor. i take it Castlemaine rod shop are they only ones who make them, but i was after a secondhand one to save a few $$$ as i am short of cash..
if anyone has one for sale please let me know.

[delcowizzid]

so you got that engine then mate

[MADVRSS]

hey mate how many holes in the back ov crank ??? to bolt the fly wheel on

[defa]

6 bolts.. the auto pattern not the manual pattern. i have bought an engine but it is an auto pattern and i want to convert it to manual.. which has been done plenty of times

[MADVRSS]

yeh i have the manual fly wheel with 6 bolt holes out of serieas 1

[defa]

is it a series 1 manual flywheel. or a series 1 flywheel with an auto pattern??? ya can send me a measurement of the holes from centre to centre if ya want

[Bz Kn33z]

you will need the adaptor still, unless that guy has a custom made flywheel from CRS and they are about $600, adaptor is $336 or so, auto and manual are both 6bolt cranks but manual is spread apart wider and auto are closer. good luck with your search.

[Bz Kn33z]

sorry to double post but there is one on ebay for $300 and for an extra 40 you get a flywheel aswell. still abit pricey he said he picked it up for $380 but i think thats a lie i got mine for $336ish

Holden V6 Parts

They make a flywheel to suit the S1 auto crank. $395 with all new bolts and spigot bush. The only difference is the flex plate gets bolted to the back of it for the ring gear. I bought one of those kits but for S2 and it all bolted up no probs. Had to cut a small section out of the inspection plate though because it rubbed on the inside of the flex plate. Still, not a bad price considering I saw a used S2 flywheel go for $355 on ebay...

I also have a flywheel laying around to suit S1 manual.

i have two s1 manual flywheels here now. i have seen the adapter on ebay. i saw that before i posted this.. i was just hoping someone might have one sitting around doing nothing the wanted to get rid of.
i do know the difference between them both. never really seen many auto pattern flywheels for sale on ebay so i thought i would try here..
i did have a feeling another company other than castlemaine rod shop made flywheels but i may be thinking of something else..
azzfox how long ago was that price for the flywheel cos i think they have gone up to nearly 600 like bzkn33z said..

Less than a month ago I bought mine. Flywheels from CRS are about $600. Then I came across the other lot which had them for $395 with everything included so it was the clear winner. Theyre located in Vic too, unlike CRS. Was too easy to just go pick it up.

[defa]

where is this place your are talking about. and CRS (castlemaine rod shop) is in castlemaine, victoria. anyway.. 200 cheaper is better..
your car being a series 2 is different to a series 1 pattern. do you know if they do series 1 auto to manual flywheels..

Check that link I posted. Scroll down to flywheels.

They are located in Dandenong South and go by the name of Marks 4WD Adaptors. Luckily commodore V6's are a common 4WD conversion .

Ha, so Castlemaine is in Vic. I always thought it was in NSW

[defa]

thanks for that. i might look into it if i don't get this adapter.
i would have thought someone would have an old flywheel there weren't using. but i must have been wrong..

[defa]

i got out bid on that adapter. so still if anyone knows of a second hand flywheel that would be great..

I have one I didnt get around to using - still brand new. Have the adapter you need plus also have the spigot and bolts as well. $200 for the lot plus postage. Can include the special tool as well to fit the bolts.

All brand new from the Castlemaine Rod Shop originally just got rid of the car before I got to do the conversion
