Hi,

For the manual tranny cars, does anyone know if the '85 flywheel is the same, or different then the '86 flywheel?

And same question for the torque tube: is the torque tube for the '85 and '86 the same part, or is it a different part.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ed

ps: trying to line up the parts for an auto to manual tranny swap, just trying to line up my ducks.

I just emailed you Ed, but this is what I found on the flywheels. They are indeed the same:

I have two separate messages in one thread saying that the 85 and 86 flywheels are the same, (Post number 7 from Jim Bailey, and Post #30 from Mark Kibort)
They both indicate what I suspected, which is that the 85 and 86 LH systems use the same teeth and flywheel.

Further, it seems 928intl agrees with this, since they sell the Flywheel for 85/86 as one part and number, (for a lot of money): http://www.mailordercentral.com/928i...102%20078%2001

Another has Jim saying that the 85-86 systems use the same flywheel teeth:

One and same from '80½ to '95 other than there might not be vibration damper in some of them.

I see there is soem questions on auto to five speed conversions. Here is a link to my web site covering most of the differences in the years.

As far as the flywheel DEVEK has been making up hybrid flywheels to retrofit a dual clutch into the S4 up cars. They probably have enough 85-86 timing rings to make up a 87 single disk fluywheel for your 85-86. DO not know what the advantages are up migt work.
