you could cut the bell housing of a fc tranny then weld it in the proper place of the new cars tranny. that is if the spline lined up and then use all the fc stuff starter and what not.

[quote name='ColinRX7' date='Aug 11 2005, 03:54 PM']Still though what about the ring gear on the flywheel, and hows the starter going to hit it?

The flywheel stays in the same position so that's all ok.

Mebbe I'm a DUMBASS?

No, not for the starter





Not if now you have a huge spacer installed to compensate for the length of the input shaft

Ahhh. The adapter plate thingy is just a ring, a bit like a bellhousing extension.



Mark

Yeah.. And the starter, considering it's still bolted in the stock bellhousing hole, just wont have the length to hit the gear, it'll miss by exactly the width of the adapter.. So you'd have to install the adapter and shift the mounting for the starter forward to hit the gear... Or SOMETHING! lol







I think this thing is cool **** because theres so much more to it than just dropping it in! I really want to know how they handled such issues..

I've never seen a starter that wasn't on the engine side, but I'm assuming that from what you're saying this is not the case with a rotary - in which case you could have a problem. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

yeah the starter is on the tranny sid

e

I'm sure it would be possible to run a starter off the pulley belt?
