I am installing a 1983 mazda rx7 automatic transmission in my 1985 manual transmissin car. I am using the aft eccentric shaft flywheel and weight from the 83 car, do I have to change the front weight or is the one in the 85 engine okay? Both cars have 12a

Your question was cut off. The flywheel for a manual transmission won't work with an automatic transmission, and the flexplate from an automatic won't work with a manual transmission.
