Default Big problem after clutch/flywheel install. PLEASE HELP =(

Hey.
I just had my motor out to install a new headgasket and arp headstuds, and also to install an ACT clutch, ACT pressure plate, and ITR flywheel.

Before I put the motor back in the car and after I put the tranny back on, the motor would turn fine from the crank pulley. Now its back in the car and ready to be started, but theres a big problem. I have a stock JDM B16 tranny with an LSD, and before I could spin the tires effortlessley when it was on the lift, but now I can HARDLY move them at all, and the little bit that I can force to move causes the tires to spin in OPPOSITE directions, which as you know on an LSD tranny the wheels spin the SAME direction.

The clutch feels good and firm and when I push the clutch in, the tires spin like normal in the SAME direction just like they should when the clutch pedal is out.


What could possibly be wrong? Everything is torqued to spec and this is depressing because its my daily driver and its totally hooked up ready to start for the first time in 2 weeks. ANY help whatsoever is greatly appreciated, it took me and a buddy about 30 minutes to line up the tranny when it was on the ground and I really am not looking forward to pullying it off or pulling the motor again =( =(

Cliftnotes: After clutch and flywheel install, tires do not rotate hardly at all, and when they do they spin in opposite direction (this is wrong b/c of LSD), but they rotate in the same direction when the clutch is engaged.

Thanks :crook:

have you driven the car yet?

WHen you spin one tire the other tire will always got he opposite direction. Unless you have a WELDED diff.

So with the car in the air and you spin one tire the other goes the other way? sounds normal to me, just start the car in the air (if you can safely do so) and see which way they spin in 1st gear.

I concur
becuase the dirve axles are on 2 sperate gears and would rotate at diffrent directions.

you turn one and the wheel turns there for the Ring Gear turns Accordingly, Cuaseing the other wheel to turn in the oppsit direction.
Since the Ring Gear is the orgination of the Input to the wheels and would share the same directional drive to each has the same input.

. there when you turned the Left wheel forward which would cuase the Ring Gear to turn upward and its out put would be downward in the oppisit drive axle

like this -->
input TURN UP ^^ I--O --I Turns DOWN
