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

 

so it is a flywheel? how does it start. no teeth. i have the mt bolts on my car

 

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

 

o so it is a flywheel. and i just bought this engine. its the jdm d15b vtec. auto i guess. i am putting it in soon. its sitting in my garage.wierd no teeth...

 

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

 

o ok.if i take that off the flywheel bolts right in there correct.with the 12 point bolts in the middle.thanks again.

 

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.....
