Thread: L36 + T5 Off 96 Camaro: Need Clutch/Flywheel Advice

So I've got this 150-ish k L36/T5 combo that a 96 Camaro is donating to my Porsche 944 project. I'm getting ready to stuff them in for last mockup/first get it to run. Therefore I want the clutch/flywheel/throwout bearing to be in good condition. When I opened up the clutch this is what I found. The shiny flywheel bolt heads correspond to the shiny clutch tabs just inboard of the springs. Does anyone know what caused that? Will it go away if I just order a new flywheel, new flywheel bolts and new clutch?




Also - if I order a new flywheel, are there any special concerns with balancing it? I thought I remember reading that there are V6 specific issues with balancing flywheels - but maybe that's just when swapping from an auto tranny to a manual one.

Thanks guys!

First the good news - I surfaced my flywheel at work myself (under the watchful eye of the Tool & Die guys).



But the rest of the news is... frustrating. First the clutch kit came without the throwout bearing so now I lose a week while Rockauto and I play swap parts game.



And then came the time to bolt the flywheel back on the Camaro L36 and... the bolts that the internet/Rockauto/Oriellys/Ebay and God say should fit DO NOT FIT. My bolts are smaller. The internet reveals no obvious clues or alternate PN's and Rockauto will not exchange with me because they think I am wrong.
"Correct" bolts are 7/16 (on left) and mine are smaller (Right). I also pulled a bolt out of my L67 and they too are smaller. O?

OK by me - I thought they were TTY tho?

Done deal then - same ones going back in. Thanks Scotty.
