I'm hoping some one might know a thing or about this over here...
Quick summary: I am putting a M5R2 5 speed behind the V8 in my explorer basing the clutch on a 96 F150 since it had the 302 with a M5R2. More detail: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2251210&postcount=51
Now for my question, I bought a 96 F-150 flywheel and 96 clutch kit with disc and pressure plate, all made by Luk. However, the the flywheel I got did not have any dowels in it which I thought was a little different from the manual flywheels i have seen in the past but I just assumed this one didn't need it. After all there were 6 threaded holes that lined up perfect with the pressure plate, so I proceeded and bolted it on using that. However, I was doing a little more reading today and saw a few people say you need those for alignment otherwise you get clutch chatter. My problem is the flywheel I got doesn't have any peg holes that would even line up with any of the other holes in the pressure plate anyway(there are plenty of other holes). So I am wondering if these are always necessary? Do I just have an odd flywheel?
