time to replace the clutch friction plate. Looking at the " Ranger " clutch option, modified some bolts to head thickness of .156". Not enough clearance will need to grind more off. In the mean time i removed the flywheel and found it to be cracked in a few places as well as worn from the rivets of the friction plate.

Can someone tell me what min thickness for the flywheel is ?
What flywheel will work? Are all 2.5 motor flywheels the same?
What and how do you remove the square toothed ring from the outside of the fly wheel?

And lastly does anyone have a good used flywheel for a reasonable cost. This car is almost $100 from the scrap yard.

If the clutch you took out was a spring center, just get it relined for under $100 and dont mess with the Ranger stuff.

it is and so far i cant find anywhere local to do it. Any suggestions?
flywheel is my big problem right now car is not worth the money to fix.

There's a number of flywheels on ebay and I'd recommend not trying to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. It just makes sense, both time-wise and money-wise to simply replace with what works off the shelf. In recent days I've seen both clutch plates and flywheels for sale.

The problem is i cant find one that looks like his. It has Square teeth on the od of the flywheel
I take that back i did find one for $700 +

Unless you enjoy repeating every repair done like your first post:

...do not do the cheap clutch replacement.

If the car is not worth the money to fix -----sell it for what you can get "as is".

You're just wasting money and aggravation.

If it wasn't all he has i would have already junked it. Its a shame car runs great and even with worn suspension it will out handle my vette any day.

I have a spare you can have cheap, 7 of the 9 bolt holes have damage but
still hold a bolt. You could helicoil of take your chances. Hows $40plus shipping.

DC Automotive in North Carolina has a used one for $100. I think I resurfaced mine for $40. Throw in $10 for shipping and you have a $150 resurfaced flywheel.

DC was $200 for the type i have 944online has one for less than $100. i will resurface it at work. Big news is i found a new center force clutch disc on amazon for $125 w/free shipping. Problem is i have ordered both and still waiting on shipping info for both today is the 4th day since ordered.

Hey OP, I have an excellent condition Flywheel, PP, and Disc if you're interested.
