[s-cars] flywheel replacement pondering - input requested

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

Chris,

While I can't speak directly to answer your question I have
spoken to Suni about it.  He has in his coupe project car an
AAN engine with a 95.5 S6 Transmission and the 200 20V
flywheel. Previous to it's installation, I believe that
drivetrain lived in his old 200 20V. He told me he has had no
trouble in each installation.  The S6 transmission came from
another local black avant owner (not Matt but another guy) who
had Suni install the 6 speed.

Both that guys black avant and mine are sitting in Suni's
garage bays for service as I write this.

So what I know is that he seems to have made it work. I guess
that your results may vary quote needs to be inserted here.

Good luck.
