I have the 3sgte 4th gen engine on the way and getting things ready to go! Looking for help and ways to get it going ! Right now I have done alot of research and talked to tons of people. I was wondering if I could get some help with my project . Right now I'm planning on running the engine stock I made sure it came with the 3sgte hanress and ecu and im getting a flywheel and clutch kit . Iv been looking around and doing research and I might attempt my wiring harness myself I have two harnesses and I might just try it . But I also need help from people that have experience with the swap and the 6gen community. Helping me find parts, and help me get it on the road with a wonder build ! I hope this goes well , would appreciate all the help I can get !

So in other words I need a 3sgte flywheel with bolts and a 3sgte pressure plate and needs to be modified to go to the splines for the 5s and south end makes them I cant find them on eBay or anything like that ? What the place called so I can give them a call so what do they all do for me I have to buy the 3sgte flywheel and that make the pressure plate for me with a clutch kit to fit my 5s and I use my throw out barring ? Correct

Correct. They are called Southbend Clutches out of Fort Wayne, IN. You can contact them through their website, but calling them will get a faster response!

So what I need to do is get a 3sgte flywheel and use my clutch kit for my 5s tranny and I'm good thats what I got idk if I'm not grasping it but I know I'll have to run a stage 2 at the least for the 3s engine

Incorrect. A pressure plate for a 5S flywheel will not bolt up to a 3S flywheel, to my knowledge. The splines on the disc and the TOB will be the only thing in common with a 5S clutch kit.

all this good info needs to be summarized...


I should start a thread. I am surprised there is not a gen 4 3sgte thread on 6gc.

You definitely should! I would greatly appreciate it. I’ll need it in a few months. smile.gif
