hey guys, throwing a crankshaft position sensor code, i looked at the timing ring through the sensor hole and there's some teeth that are chipped. my question is, does the timing ring remove from the flywheel?

 

Yes.... But no....

It's a wierd bolt.

 

what is it? like a torx? i have almost every tool ever needed...

 

I'm looking for pics... H/o

[edit]



For future reference....The automatic trigger ring is WELDED and the 5mt is bolted on.

and yes... the 5mt fw is on the right....

 

thanks for the info. manual here thankfully. im gonna try to weld the teeth back in and grind the welds down

 

Uhhhh

Good luck, you have to have it EXACTLY right.

Worse comes to worse you can buy my FW

 

id get a replacement flywheel and save the headache.

OP:

U prolly jus need to replace the sensor.

 

Welding and grinding is going to result in some degree of imbalance, and right on the rim, where imbalance has maximum effect. Any imbalance will wreck the bearing nearest to it. I would be looking for a junker to get one from.

 

this is you. welding your flywheel.

its not my idea to weld the cogs. thats my dad b****ing at me for wanting to spend my money on an aftermarket FW. so if he effs it up he can buy me everything that gets effed up...praying for a vq35

 

Well, if he wants to try some real welding, try welding the fuel tank . . .

 

How do the teeth on the timing ring get chipped when the only thing "looking" at them is a hall-effect sensor?

 

That's the real question to ask, but oh well aint 'ish he can do about it now.

 

A machine shop would probably be able to help you with that and will make sure it's balanced afterwards

 

really? why would you even suggest something like that? even if you're just messing around that's f***ed up.

 

there was a piece of metal from my old transmission that i missed and it was pinging around and messed up the timing ring. no big deal, now its just time to upgrade

 

It's called sarcasm.
However, I have actually welded fuel tanks. You fill the tank with water first.

 

yeah then just drill a hole in the bottom to let the water out!
