Background...bought my 6 10 years ago with a 2.7 and the original 2.0. The 2.7 went away. Getting ready to install original trannie and a 2.4 MFI engine. 2.4 engine does not have a flywheel. Original 2.0 engine has a later flat 6 bolt flywheel (which confuses me) from a 915. The 914 trannie should have the 215 dished flywheel with the starter ring on it, not the flat 225 flywheel. This car was auto crossed most of its life. Was a 225 later flywheel, PP and TO bearing a common upgrade to 914 trannies for bigger engines back in the day? Here is the flywheel...

You're right.. you need a flywheel and clutch...
Does not need to be a 914-6 flywheel... Because the timing marks are going to be off because of the 2.4 crankshaft.. |

You can use a 6 flywheel, but as Jeff said the timing marks will be off. I’m pretty sure can get a special ring gear from Kennedy that will allow you to use a push style pressure plate.

Thanks guys. To be clear, the flywheel I have is the later flywheel? Was the PO running the later 225 PP and TOB? From what I understand, I cannot mix and match the flywheels and PPs. My trannie has the early TOB, so I guess my best bet is to find an early 215 flywheel and PP and clutch disc. I have several clutch discs. Do we know the correct part number and thickness?
