Hi guys, Done a Search but unable to find answer to this Can you use the N/A Flexplate and Starter Motor on a VLT Auto Transmisison? Cheers, Joe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

both flywheels/flex plate are the same! manuals are different, but you can modify an NA one to fit the turbo flywheel! matt

OK, The VL Automatic Non-Turbo and Turbo and Non-Turbo Manual use the same starter. The VL Manual Turbo uses a different starter, because it uses a larger flywheel. Mick
