I had the same problem with the flywheel when i did the EA81 swap in the Beast the first time... My EA81 flywheel was 1/8"-3/16" thicker than my EA82 flywheel... I guess flywheel thicknesses vary, Jerry has had no problems with the way he uses the EA81 flywheels with the EA82 5 speeds...

yeah , i just use the ea82 stuff.it turns out that the pressure plate was about to come off.meaning not bolted down tight.so that was probably the culprit.

cheers, brian

well, i should have been worried about it.

 

oh geeze, when I started reading that I thought the project was done for... so I was very relieved that everything worked out in the end...

 

I'm waiting to see some action shots...

yep. as long as you get the right clutch disk to fit the pressure plate. I believe Jerry uses a washer to space back the starter as well when using the ea81 flywheel...
