I am changing out the engine and the new engine came from a car configured for automatic transmission drivers.
My car is a five speed with a dual mass flywheel and I was wondering how to remove the flywheel from my engine and what changes, if any, I need to make to the new engine?

Hello,

There is no difference in engines unbolt the flex plate and install the flywheel. Here is a guide to help you as what you are in for when doing the job:

Use an air impact gun makes it easier.
