You will be using the automatic transmission rear counterweight. Originally
just the auto trans flex plate was used to drive the shock absorbing pucks in an
aluminum plate.
In some cases the flex plate would develop cracks and need to be replaced.
Some folks began using the steel racing flywheels rather than the flex plate.
Aluminum flywheels work just as well. I turned the area beside the counter
weight spigot down a bit further and made a steel button flywheel to carry
the 5 1/4" clutch pack for the racer. That bolted on over the stock flex plate
just to carry the starter ring gear. Very simple. Never a failure.

I have
been reading through the archives on this but still unsure.
With a
RD-1C can I use a 1986-91 non turbo lightweight steel or aluminum flywheel? Or
do I need to use the OEM one?
From my reading it sounds like this was
tested for the RD-2C.
Thanks,
