Subject:'86 Vanagon removing/installing flex plate & torque converter
From:Bob Anderson
Date:Sat, 20 Apr 2013 09:58:24 +0000

Hello All,
I am about to remove the flex plate from my 1986 original 2.1 engine and install this flex plate, along with the torque converter onto a 1987 2.1 engine that I am about to install in my vanagon. My vanagon has an automatic transmission and this newer engine came from a standard transmission vanagon.
 I'm wondering if this is pretty straight forward or are there particular concerns that I should be aware of? I did read something about the need for using new bolts and not re-using the old one?
Thanks,
Bob A
