i also

converted an automatic equipped car to stick (technically i used a crank from an automatic car). we looked and looked and couldnt find any marks to suggest where and how to install and finally just put it on at random. the car was extremelty smooth at any rpm.

i now have a 240 fw loose that i had checked for balance and it is neutrally balanced.

the fsm says you should match balance a replacement flywheel cause they are balanced together but i think the most you should do is just have the fw checked for neutral balance. many folks have done the conversion and just stick it in there without any negative results.

if it were me, i wouldn't tear it out to check it. i recommend driving some other stick 240s and see if yours is rougher than those. i bet you are fine and if you have vibration it is from something else.
