Hi All,

I have a couple of questions

1 - Are all flywheels interchangeable for 98?

2- What is the difference between an LSD & a non-LSD driver side shaft?

3- LSD & non-LSD trannies should be interchangeable, when it comes to installing into car?

My "New" motor & transmission arrived from a used parts supplier. Motor did not have it's flywheel. Shop doing work reused my existing flywheel. bolt holes to torque convertor don't match up now. Also issues with the non-lsd transmission


Thanks

1 Not sure about all 4th gen years, but 97-98 are.

2 LSD the left axle is a drive axle, non LSD axle is not. Non LSD axle is a bit longer too if I'm not mistaken.

3 Yes
