Fidanza!
The counterweight you'll need to purchase depends on the series vehicle you have, or engine if you've done a swap.

Yes me too I just bought a fidanza flywheel and the guy said he was going to order a new one for me but from what I can see here I shouldn't waste my time .where I can find one(mazda?) I have a 88TII ,another thing is how do you bolt it on the counterweight .I know you guys covered this before I'm sure ,but it would be nice for some help some pics would be nice oh and another question do you buy an n/a or a turbo counterweight(not sure theres any)

Turbos weren't automatics in the states! Just get an automatic counterweight, and it's series specific IIRC. I ended up selling my flywheel set up before I installed it.

why did you sell your set up was it to troublesome or is there better out there, my main question is how do you bolt it on the counterweight is there threading in the counterweight to recieve the flywheel or what , I never took a manual tranny apart yet so I don't know does someone or company sell them

What year is your motor? 86-88?

I sold my flywheel, because I bought it from a friend while my motor was being built. He claimed it was a Turbo flywheel. WRONG. It was an N/A. It was a brand new one too, but the box didn't state which one it was for. So when the motor got back and I went to put on the flywheel and clutch, it was way too small. So, I sold it to someone on the forum, complete with counterweight and the big *** socket and adapter from 3/8" to 1/2". He got a deal, needless to say.

A) do a search

B) if you get a counterweight, it will be very obvious

C) the counterweight is tapped for 6 mounting bolts.
