To my knowledge the only difference would be the neutral safety/reverse light switch. An auto version would be that combination whereas a manual version would just contain the reverse light switch. Neutral safety would be accomplished by the clutch pedal switch. The backdrive linkage is different between auto and manual but otherwise I don’t believe the column is different. Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Yea I agree, from what I can see there that flywheel doesn’t look bad cracks wise. It may clean up nicely. I ran one that looked much worse than that before I decided to replace it just to be safe.

Man I wonder if all of this was caused by a poorly adjusted clutch and maybe some oil leakage. Tore open the transmission today and it is really clean for something that hasn’t been babied for 60k miles. Was pretty concerned for a minute since I saw a lot of light gray metallic sludge but from what I can tell it’s normal and is just basic wear or it’s coming from the ball bearings but they seem to be just fine for now, the most worn thing I really saw was some chips on 2nd on the counter shaft. Just gonna clean it reassemble with a gasket kit and freshen up the shift linkage, didn’t slide the gears off the shaft so that’ll save some time.

If anyone else has any ideas lemme know, to reinstate the problem was amplified by a burnout that didn’t work out, dropped the clutch and it just slipped and burned until the tires started spinning like they should. Then the bucking back and fourth from a dead stop to moving got a lot worse and happened all the time (stop sign, light, driveway, etc.) .

From what I can tell the clutch was bad but not as bad as it should’ve been, flywheel was pretty ugly, lots of heat luckily I caught it before any cracks.

Thanks all.

Mechanical / Tilt Steering Column

« Last post by wheels78ta on May 13, 2024, 05:41:04 PM »

My Y88 came with a non-tilt steering column.  I want to install a tilt steering column.

What are the differences between the automatic and manual tilt steering columns?

I see a lot of tilt columns listed as automatic trans.  I have never seen a tilt steering column listed as manual.

Brought the flywheel to the machine shop today so we will see how that turns out. Think I’m gonna go with a zoom mu5505-1a clutch, seems people like zoom and it’s one of the cheaper ones.

That Flywheel is "Mint" compared to some of the ones I've seen . I say change the "Ring Gear" if its really chewed up, and go. I was expecting "Heat Cracks" that look like the Grand Canyon. I had a Zoom Disk, Held up well to my abuse. Regards.

That's the NOS one on ebay that they wanted $2000 for.  It's now down to $1800.

Good find, Ben.

Did you dye that? On my console I thought the rivet heads were not painted, maybe not its been awhile since I worked on mine. I painted over mine when I restored it.
