There's one for the 928 that you take the slave cylinder out and pop the lock in and the teeth keep the flywheel from moving. Anything like that available out there?

Hi,
I have read in my Tech Manuals that there is a Flywheel Lock, forget the part#. But, for this test, it should be sufficient to merely put the tranny in 1st gear.
The Crankshaft Nut on my Lotus Esprit is spec'd at 174 ft.lbs. of torque (quite a lot). I can put the Tranny in first and
reef on the Nut w/ a long-handled Torque Wrench until the proper torque is reached. There is some initial movement, maybe 1 or 2 degrees as all the slack in the drivetrain is taken up, but after that, it remains firmly locked just from the friction of the clutch on the Flywheel. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
