A T means automaticTransmsission it looks like a big bowl you have to take that off if your converting to 5speed BUT YOU CAN NOT USE THOSE flywheel bolt to bolt up a manuel flywheel

AT's do not have flywheels per say, they have torque converters, and you better get some AT bolt before something bad happens

IT'S NOT A FLYWHEEL. IT'S A TORQUE CONVERTER

i pmed youback about it its not a flywheel it is a torque converters made for autos the reason you 8 bolts say at is for AutomaticTransmission,you have to take off all the 17mm 12 point bolts and get manuel bolts and a manuel flywheel and it will bolt right up to those holes MAN SURE YOUr new flywheel has a polit bearing b4 you bolt it up its a round bearing that is softly pressed into the hole in the flywheel

it actually IS a flywheel of sorts.... He is not talking about the torque converter, he is talking about the thin flywheel that the torque convertor sits on... and the reason there are no teeth on that flywheel, is because they are on the torque convertor.... just remove that, attach the 5 spd flywheel with 5 spd bolts, and you'll be good to go.....
