Aight i've looked for this question for over an hour now. I'm very sorry if it has been answered but i've been up to 48 hours now swaping motors in my 95 eclipse 420A. i can not find a flywheel in my area. the motor that i got had an automatic tranny. can the flywheel from an auto fit a manual? they are the same thickness and have the same amount of teeth but i'm not sure if they are balanced specifically for the tranny or if i can reuse it? needing this info asap. thanks
 
you can't re-use your old flywheel? (have it resurfaced of course)...

don't automatics usually use flexplates? unless the car was a manual before it should not have a flywheel- automatic transmissions don't use them.

I have very rarely seen people with manual transmission racecars that use flywheels and funny clutches- not real streetable though. Never seen it the other way around.
 
you know what i'm a complete moron. LOL. i should've known about the flexplate/flywheel differance. just beeing so long since i've messed with a vehicle and this being my first import. but i did know about the resurfacing so i don't feel all that bad LOL. thanks brah.
