replacement fidanza friction disc doesn't work??

[LeedBoost]

So let me start off I have a 97 420a with fidanza flywheel. Im replacing the clutch so decided to replace the friction disc too. I looked up on the Fidanza website for which friction plate to get and in their catalog it says disc #228751 is the one for my year and make. So I look around on the web and every site that i seen sells that disc says its compatible for a 97 eclipse nt...

Now I bought that friction disc and when I went to install it, its too small. That friction disc has 16 bolt holes and mine on my flywheel has 18 bolt holes. So I dont get how my flywheel has a larger disc then all the ones that are for it are a smaller 16 bolt one...I guess ima kinda confused on what flywheel I have.

has anyone ran into a problem like this with their fidanza?

Does the flywheel itself have any part numbers on it? Could look it up that way and find out what friction plate you need.

Edit: looks like your 'wheel is #194201. Here's what i've found about the friction plate so far (oddly, it's from a listing on ebay):

If friction surface has an 8.75 Inches dia. use part #228751. If friction surface has a 9 Inches dia. use part #229001

I didn't see any but I didn't take the flywheel off..I dropped the tranny and counted the bolt holes and I had 18 so I checked the disc I just got and since it was the wrong one we just put the tranny back on so I cant even go back and check the flywheel....

Does anyone know if all of fidanzas 18 hole friction discs are the same size?

There were 2 different flywheels made thats the problem you are having. You have to make sure you buy the right one.

Yeah I ended up calling the fidanza people..I guess i have the 9" one because the 8.75" is a 16 bolt and mine is an 18 bolt which im assuming is bigger
