5k vs 200 flywheels

[Ken Keith]

I hope so! :-)  Actually, yes you are supposed to be able to do that.
The 200tq flywheel and clutch set is going to go on an MC-1 motor,
eventually into an '85 4kstq.

You have to change to the matching clutch asembly, so no.
Swapping to the 200tq flywheel also requires a 200tq clutch kit.
The pressure plate for the 200tq is "cupped" to make up for the
missing thick edge that exists on the ealrier 5kcstq flywheels.  You
should be able to make that out by the pressure plate pics as well.

It almost looks like the heavier flywheel could have the whole edge
removed and longer pins installed to make it just like the later
flywheel.  I could actually do that, since I have a sample I can bring
in of the 200tq 'wheel.  But I already have the 5kcstq clutch so I
won't try.

I believe the switch over between flywheels was between 5kcstq
and 200tq, as opposed to 10v or 20v.  So these would have came
on MC-2 motors, which are 10v turbo's.  That's if you believe in
model name breaks and such as having something to do with the
configuration.  Correct me if I'm wrong. :-)

Actually, I'm getting confused.  Were the '89-90 Type 44's called
5kcstq or 200tq's in the U.S.?  They changed to 200's with the MC-
2 change right?  So the flywheel change should match up with the
model change to 200?  I realize that on the assembly line, they
pretty much used what was nearby, regardless of VIN, model, or
motor breaks.

Thanks,

Ken
