I realize that if I had taken the time during disassembly to make note of this I wouldn't be asking the question Where does the metal shim go, in between the flexplate and crank, in front of the rear main seal, or does it go on the outside of the flexplate facing the clutch assembly? I'm confused because CAPS has it in between the flexplate and clutch:

And these photo's from Chamuko show it in between the crank and flexplate: http://www34.brinkster.com/chamukogs/oilleak.htm

Thanks for the help guys

Mine's on the outside, facing the clutch assembly. I replaced it the same day I took it apart, so I'm pretty sure that's the correct way.

It goes on the outside of the flexplate/flywheel, so the heads of the bolts hold it on.

Put the flywheel/flexplate up against the crank, put the shim on, put the bolts through the shim, through the flex plate, into the crank.

Thanks for clearin' that up

yeah, thanks

It's awesome that you used the search, that's what it's for.

I can't believe this was originally only from April, felt like years ago.

Next time, though, try to look at the dates before you post.
