i went to checker and bought a new flywheel for my car and the new one ended up being bigger and now i cant get my old one back because i turned it in as a core.. how can i find out what size flywheel is suppose to be in that tranmission. can somone help me.? the new flywheel is way to big its a 157 tooth. my bellhousing wont even fit over the new flywheel. i believe the old flywheel was a 148 tooth. can i just take my tranny to a shop can they take measurments or somthin to find out what flywheel will fit in my tranny?

Welcome to the site. I have a old one in the basement somewhere. I will count it if I can find it.

Another Mustang II specific part, the 302 C4 auto in the II actually was the same C4 as all others except for the smaller bellhousing. The correct flywheel is 12" 141 tooth 28 oz ballanced.
I just picked up a new one on Ebay for $47.00 delivered to my door.

Opppssss... I did some looking through my records... It is a 141 tooth...
I ended up giving $80 just for the ring gear for the manual tranny.

Sorry for the wrong information.

well i have a 4 speed manual tranny in my car.... thats how it was when i bought it.. so are the bellhousing interchangable? im gonna go to pick a part tomorrow and try and find my car with a tranny and hope it will work im not sure really what else to do....

Just out of curiosity, why did you need to change the flywheel?

I would think that Checker would be responsible for selling you a flywheel that didn't fit and would return your original.

because the starter was messin up and grinded the teeth down on my flywheel.. and by the time i got the car there was broken teeth and it was worn down...

so you need a ringear for a manual 5.0 4speed or a auto transmission flywheel?Phil
