OLLIE 26 Report post Posted May 11, 2008 M20, manual. in this drawing number 10 (spacer ring) - what purpose does this serve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Not totally sure but are we to take it from the picture that it is showing us both the manual gearbox/flywheel set up and autobox set up. If so the spacer would be for the auto set up to obtain the correct distance for the starter pinion to be able to engage the ring gear correctly. Just my thoughts on it.

westy 614 Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Big washer like Brent says. I got one with the flywheel for the dirtysix. After talking to the flywheel machinist I didnt use it. Threw it away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
