plate
I guess every Ross drive is unique, but mine was a custom ALU
plate with the starter ring gear crimped on. The ALU plate bolted onto the
counter weight. The clutch/dampener with the splice bolted onto the ALU
plate with 8 or 10 allan 8mm screws/bolts and 1/2" (?) ALU
spacers.
So all you need is the standard counter weight. I believe
the hole pattern in the counter weight is the same for auto and
manual.

OK....I am going to openly display my
ignorance here....I had my Ross PSRU off only one time, when I had the
thrust bearing mod done. I simply reinstalled it opposite of how I
took it off. That was some time ago, and I can't recall what it looked
like where it mated to the flywheel. Did the Ross also use an auto
flex plate? I remember the shaft was splined. That's about all I
recall. I am asking this, because I have purchased a set of street
ported 4-port plates to which I will add a set of NA rotors and housings
to build up a complete engine so I will lessen my "downtime" by hopefully
swapping engines on a weekend. I would like to have this new engine ready
to bolt on and run. I'm assuming that the stock, cast
iron flywheel I have if from a standard transmission RX7. Are the
automatic and standard flywheels different, or do you just add an
automatic transmission flex plate to the cast iron flywheel I already
have? Just when I thought I had everything figured out, I start
reading new posts about flex plates....
Thanks in advance
for any and all replies/suggestions. Paul, what the heck is a
flexplate, Conner
