Swapping out motor in my VE from a 5speed trans into my 6 speed trans ?

[ChrisGood1]

Is there any difference in motors from a 5speed to a 6speed ?

Having trouble with spinning pulley once Trans in on .
What could cause this ?
Keeping in mind starter is off .

Hi Chris,

From my understanding the bolt pattern is the same, assuming you're using a 6L45 or 6L50 transmission.
However, there could be differences between the flex plate that is used between the 5 and 6 speed transmissions, which could be the reason why it's binding up.

This aside, the other main issue you may come across is having the 6 auto speed trans, being able to talk to your existing engine ECU

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Michael

Thank you Micheal . Appreciate your reply.
Do you think the Torque converter could be installed wrong ? As in not fully engaged in the transmission?

Thank you

It could be, however, honestly, it is hard to say anything without having a look. Your best bet would be to get a professional look to be 100% sure.

If your converter is installed wrong then the pump will be damaged as a result.

Damn. Anyone know where a affordable place to find one ?

What makes you think the converter was even installed wrong?

Can't spin pulley when Trans bolted to motor. Feels like to tight

As in the crank pulley? Has the trans been out?
