Hi Charlie,

My flywheel was exactly the same diameter, thought the teeth were closer to
the engine a little.  I think there may be a difference between the turbo
and non- turbo.  We hashed all that out a couple years ago.. its in the
archives.  You can also check the Mazdatrix website to see the different
models.

Good Luck,
David Leonard

    It was reasonably priced, since I don&#39;t need the wear surface, so I
    figured it would be &#39;plan B&#39; if I ever have an issue with the f=
lex
    plate. <br>
    <br>
    When it arrived (yesterday, after everyone was gone), I sat it on
    top of my (cracked) flex plate, and it&#39;s almost an inch smaller in
    diameter. The mounting holes in the center seem to line up properly.
    I remember reading about milling the drive plate to move the starter
    .2&quot; closer to the engine, but I don&#39;t remember anything about =
the
    smaller diameter. <br>
    <br>
    So, my questions: <br>
    Did I purchase the wrong item, would I simply make my starter cutout
    in the plate closer to the centerline to account for the smaller
    diameter, or was the flywheel mis-represented?<br>
    <br>
    If it&#39;s not the described item, I need to send it back, but I don&#=
39;t
    want to bother the seller if I simply bought the wrong flywheel.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>
    <br>
