Ok thanks so much! I bought this stuff from Rockauto:
AMS AUTOMOTIVE 167030 Flywheel $ 45.89 $ 0.00 1 $ 45.89
EXEDY 04071 Clutch Kit $ 70.79 $ 0.00 1 $ 70.79
Looks to be correct!
The 8.5" clutch ordered will fit the flywheel you ordered, but that flywheel is for a 4ZD1 2.3 engine, it has 8 crank bolts & will not fit your G200Z engine, which has 6 crank bolts. This is one of those instances that I mentioned previously where parts suppliers don't have the correct part number for this engine, they match the flywheel to the clutch. Every supplier does the same thing, even those $300-plus aluminum Fidanzas. The problem is that 8.5" clutch was used for three different Isuzu engine series but each series used a distinctly different flywheel. rockauto does not sell the flywheel you need, they only list ones with 8 crank bolts that fit the 4ZD1 engine & don't listen when you try to tell them it won't fit a G-series engine- I've tried. And it's not just rockauto, it's every parts supplier I've looked at.
See if you can cancel or modify the order so you don't have to pay return shipping. If you want the 8.5" clutch upgrade you'll need the correct flywheel, the ebay link I posted previously is for what should be a correct used one, I got a new one from
jlemond@bellsouth.net, seems like it was around $100 & came in a flat rate USPS box.
