Interesting, make sure the clutch disc fits your input shaft on the transmission.

Side note: When I was getting my HX engine ready to install my ring gear was just like yours. A slight nudge and it fell right off the flywheel. It makes me wonder how the PO ever started the car with the starter.

Also the clutch disc on it was COMPLETELY gone. I mean virtually no friction material left lol.

I am VERY happy with the Exedy clutch / flywheel kit I used. Super nice clutch action.

Just make sure you never EVER let the input shaft jam or the weight of the transmission smash into the pressure plate teeth or clutch disc hub.

You will be greeted with a shaky warped feeling clutch if do you this.

Good luck.
