I was looking at a clutch catalog recently, it seems the diesel
and 2.3-8v used a 8.5" clutch, while the 2.3-16v and 2.6 used
a 9" clutch. Will the 9" clutch work on a diesel flywheel?
Will a 2.6 flywheel fit on the 2.5 diesel? (crank bolts and
ring gear the same?)
The reason for asking is I need to mate a 2.5 turbo engine to
a 2.3-16v manny tranny, and the 16v engine will become useless
if I use the 16v flywheel on the diesel. I'm aiming for 300ft-lb
from the diesel, so the bigger the better with the clutch.
I believe the best match is the flywheel from a 602.91 engine which I
know is different (bigger) than the flywheel from a 601 and I believe is
different than one for any 102 engine. There are flywheels for M103
engined cars (they are the same for the same sized engine whether used
in 124s or 201s). They are NOT the same as the ones used on the 16V cars
as far as I can tell. Since the transmissions can be interchanged, I
expect the flywheels can as well BUT I DO NOT KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
