Newbie: can this baja have a torque converter installed w/o problems?

[HouseofPayne]

I just bought a barely used 2010 baja warrior. I want to install a torque converter, but have read that some warrior models dont have a tapped crank shaft? How do I know if the engine I have on my warrior has a tapped crankshaft and my install will go smoothly? Can someone send me pictures of what I shod be looking for, please? Your help is greatly appreciated.

take your clutch cover off and see if theres a bolt on the end of the crank holding the clutch on
there very likely is

Left side right?

Opposite the pull rope side.. :laugh: The crank shaft of the engine, doesn't always have a hole drilled in it.. So when you go to bolt your driver clutch onto the motor, you can't..

If you take your clutch cover off, you'll be able to see the end of your crank shaft, and see if it has a threaded hole in the end of the crank..

Yes
Looks like a bolt and two washers
Behind the clutch cover. I will need more time to take off the clutch and look and the crank shaft. Yes, I know I sound like an idiot :wink:

Im not helpless after all. The clutch shaft has a nut on some threads and then there is a small hole without threads in the center. I am good to go then right?

That looks like the Jackshaft portion, go up the small chain to the clutch, if it's tapped it will look just like your pic.

No that is the jack shaft.. That should not cause a problem.. The problem is on your engines crank shaft, those are not always drilled... See how the previous post has a bolt holding his clutch on???? That is the bolt or hole you need to have..

 

[HouseofPayne]

Ok so i have that bolt and two washers so i assume im good to go? The hole we are speaking of is whAt that bolt is currently screwed into?

 

[The Restore Kid]

yes...If there is a bolt in the end of your crank shaft you are good to go..
