Flywheel question
Hey guys. I'm wondering if an 88 S4 N/A flywheel will work on an 89 N/A auto. I'm swapping the 89 to a manual using the parts from the 88. So I really need to know if the 88 flywheel will work on an 89

That is because they didn't make an OEM lightweight flywheel.
The Flywheels had the counterweight built into the casting,so the Series of engine needs to match the Flywheel is is for..(s4 flywheel,s4 engine).
The Auto "flywheel" is called a Flexplate and needed the counterweight to balance the rotational assembly.,.so then again if you has an S5 engine you would need an S5 Counterweight.
Since the "aftermarket light flywheel" is basically a Auto Flexplate with a Clutch surface,you need the appropriate counterweight for the engine.
NOW,I don't know what transmission you have BUT you will need the N/A starter to run the Flywheel..NOT the Auto trans starter,as they have a different gear.This is on an N/A Manual Trans.
BUT if you switch UP to a TII trans you can use that Auto trans starter on the new Lightweight TII Flywheel..(notice I changed from N/A to TII when I said that.)

Sweet thanks for the replies!
PS I'm using both the transmission and driveshaft from an 88. So I need the 88 starter correct? The 89 autos starter won't work because the number of teeth?

I wish I was driving!
No, the starters are identical between s4 manual and s5 manual; I don't know where iduley got that.
