Im pretty sure i put the reluctor wheel on right, but maybe not.
I usually line things up with holes and divots if possible, and it stayed on while i went to place the dlywheel.
This is ehat im talking about.
Roughly 3:45 mark.
In either case, i put the starter ground in the wrong place.
And now i have to wait on a new starter.
I hope i dont have to pull the trans again juat to change ge the orientation of that wheel.
But this will likely not be the last clutch i ever do, and i also have to put new mtec springs in there
Is matching rpm to the scanner reading the best eay to determine if its in there correctly?
I know therrs an engine peephole, but
That is likely to only tell me if its on bsckwards or not, not if the orientation is correct, and ibam 99.8% positive that i didnt put it on backwards.
Its really quite a simple, but time consuming job, but all of the guides mever mention the reluctor wheel, which can fall off very easily even if your intention is to change only the clutch and flywheel.
Maybe it can be a sticky in the forum?
Apparently its not even a thing on the EJ motors, so anyone can miss it, even experienced people, inless you know the exact fa20 layout, and a clutch job is pretty common, both for upgrade and maintanence reasons.
