[s-cars] flywheel replacement pondering - input requested

[Robert Rossato]

I think they may have been referring to the flywheel on the 3B from the
S2, and not the 3B in the '91 200 20V.   The S2 does use the 01E
transmission so it should have a compatible flywheel, I think.  I
believe the 3B used a solid flywheel and the ABY on the later S2s used a
dual mass FW.
