Flywheel question on manual conversion 200 1991

My son-in-law has a '91 245 auto and is going to swap to a M46 setup out of a '86 245. Can he use the flywheel out of the '86 or does he need one out of a '91 version due to the crank position sensor? Or maybe just use his existing automatic flywheel? Thanks.

    You'll need an appropriate standard shift flywheel from a car with a crankshaft sensor. The auto "flywheel" (more accurately known as a "flexplate") is only for mounting the auto torque converter--no chance at all to use that with stick shift. -- Dave

      How about the fly from the '86 M46?

        Unfortunately, it's going to need to be an 89+ flywheel. The '86 flywheel won't have the sensor holes on it.

        And to further confuse the issue, there are later model flywheels around from 740/940 cars that had a Regina system (instead of Bosch) that have a different sensor hole pattern. Bosch Lh2.4 (and 3.1) needs a 60-2 pattern, 60 hole pattern (evenly spaced) with two holes missing.
