I would think everything would be in pieces if that happened....could it be its the starter ring gear has come loose off the flywheel? Are you sure the whole flywheel turns by hand - or are you talking about the ring gear on the outside edge? That would make sense why the starter motor runs - but doesn't turn the crankshaft, etc.????....just an idea Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47570-fly-wheel/page/2/#findComment-704017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it easy to turn ????

I get a big vibration after 3500rpm and especially backing off the throttle from 5000 to 5500.The flywheel bolts so I'm told cant handle the torque and over time they can stretchcausing the flywheel to become loose.Can anyone else confirm if they have the same problem?regards Alf Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47570-fly-wheel/page/2/#findComment-704057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be real easy if its still attached to the crank. Any noise when you turn the flywheel?yes it sound some in their like a nut or bolt rolling around stealthxr said: it sounds like you have sheared the bolts off the flexplate or the actual flexplate bolt holes and the converter and flexplate are sitting on the input shaft off the box..

I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone when doing the bottom end.I might just have to put a c9 in it and join the 10 club Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47570-fly-wheel/page/2/#findComment-704161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
