I think Jeff is trying to say:
No, a stock 13B 2nd gen flywheel will not work on the 12A (balance issues). But, yes, it will work if the 2nd gen flywheel is a lightweight one (for NA cars) provided an automatic rear counterweight that matches the 85 12A is used..

I was trying to be more descriptive than the doc's sinlge word reply.
Any NA flywheel from '74-'92 will work in an '85 GSL manual trans. You just have to make sure that the flywheel matches your rotating assembly.
It sounds to me like this guy wants to use a 2nd gen flywheel on his 12A. The doc is right in that it won't work. It would bolt in and all that, but the vibrations might be noticeable, and the bearing wear will kill his oil pressure really quickly.
