Hi everyone, I am in Australia, and have just re-built a 3S-FE out of a Gen 2 camry. I have converted the car from an Automatic to Manual, I have spent a huge amount of money on re-building the engine, and I went to bolt the flywheel on tonight and found that the flywheel has 6 bolt holes, where the flex plate on the automatic has 8 holes. Obviously I can't finish this car without the flywheel on and wanted to know if it was just a variation between the years, like will there be 8 stud flywheels out there or do I have to find another crankshaft and dismantle the engine again

I will cry if I have to.

the later 3sfe and all 3sge cranks have 8 holes, the early fe has 6, i think the change over year was 88?

The changeover was in late 89, but yeah. You should be able to easily find an 8-bolt 3s-fe flywheel...

thankyou very much, yeah my FE is a '92, the last of them in camrys, so I will look for a flywheel to suit, it is a relief to know that I don't have to pull my engine apart again :p I will keep you posted on progress. thanks

I will stick to this forum and help out anyone I can.

5sfe flywheel's all work too.

buy my fidanzalightened flywheel please. lol Selling CHEAP. I will even throw in a ACT clutch with it for very little. I paid 400 for the flywheel alone and 300 for the clutch. A small art on the clutch is chpped though but it still workked perfect so I will let it all go for 250 if you want it. Let me know.
