The flywheel from a manual-equipped 616 should work just fine.

Do you know if theres a difference in the "early' (2 piece) tranny shifter and the later, Getrag shifter because that might have been the difference in shifters that I saw, not the fact that it was a special "5 spd shifter" (it was an easily modified, normal 4 speed shifter maybe)
