Hi, Im in the process of swapping out my 2.0 with a 2.5. the 2.5 engine i have is a early spec so the crank sensors are on the bellhousing which pick up readings from the flywheel. Can i use my 2.0 flywheel or will i need to get hold of a old spec 2.5 flywheel as it may have a magnet of somekind?


thanks

If you are using the early management with the sensors in the gear box you will need the early flywheel to go with, and I think you will need the matching starter motor.

Thats correct correct the later starters don't fit the early flywheels and vise versa
