Im still a noob on the rotary stuff, totaly wiling to admit that. I am a Vw/mazda tech, but to be honest, we dont get alot of inner workings training or at least I havent, we mostly just replace the motor if anything goes "wroung". I was unaware that there is a front counterweight witch was aiding to my confusion.

after C. Ludwigs last post and my new knowledge I want to re ask just to get 100% on this.

12a motor with the stock 12a ft counter wieght, and a 13b flywheel with the 13b clucth and trans. this works and has been done correct.

I think I was getting confused due to all the aftermarket flywheels needing the auto flywheel counterweight witch bolts to the auto flex plate, and not knowing the motor had a ft counter weight.

Is the 13B flywheel in this example a "lightweight" flywheel bolted to the 12A rear counter weight or is it a stock 13B flywheel? If it's the stock flywheel then it's not right. The balance is off, badly.
