This will hold your crank pully while you torque the pully down I got it from hot rod.

Isn't there a tool that goes in the teeth of the flywheel so you can tighten the pully? I think it's made by GM.

Might try a prybar holding the flywheel.

Snap on has them also this is so you don't need to remove the shiled but the flywheel wrench works better. + you can make it yourself for a quater of the cost.

Holding the crank pulley is not his problem...besides that is for an auto. The fact that his car is in gear and the crank still spins is the dilemma.

PDD, Doesn't sound like its the tranny/tube/rear since the tires lock in gear and spin in neutral. All I can think of is that the clutch is not engaging. I know that dosen't make sense because I assume you are changing gears but I can sometimes change gears 1-4 without the clutch with the car off. Can you get into reverse when you throw in the clutch?
