That's a good question.

Since it's an auto, putting it in gear won't work. Since the tranny is powered by the engine through a torque converter, that means there is no physical connection to the engine......

There's an inspection hole on the passenger side of the bellhousing. You can jam something in the flexplate teeth there.

Isnt the inspection hole actually on the block? that works well, just be careful what you use isnt too brittle and snap off falling into the flexplate/TC area, you are using a lot of torque.. ask me how I know. maybe you can use the breaker bar against the frame rail trick too. which pulley is it for?

It seems to rev quicker. In 1st the car seems a little more zippy. Other then that, there's not much to notice. It's worth what I paid for it though.
