Default ACT clutch and JWT flywheel problem

I have my car at the shop and I'm getting both installed but my mechanic called me and said the flywheel will not bolt up to the act clutch. I am using the act 6-puck sprung clutch with pressure plate. My mechanic called JWT and they said it should work but no matter what the flywheel doesn't line up. Anyone else had this problem with JWT flywheel

Is it possible that you got a clutch for an HR by accident?

i assume the pause is the time its taking him to check his orders and paperwork and possibly facepalm.. i hope not.. that would suck. From what im told, my jwt flywheel ahs 2 bolt hole patterns for mutliple clutch types.. HR parts on a DE would be my guess too.

I bought the flywheel off a member on this forumn who said it was for a DE motor. I honestly can't see the mechanic messing that up since he's done these installs before. It is possible that I may of bought an hr flywheel since it was used

now THAT sucks.. remember who he is by chance? even if he doesnt respond to PMs, you can view his profile, go to statistics, look at his thread history, and see if he posts about HR or DE aprts frequently.

FOLLOW THE CLUES MAN! SWEET SHERLOCK HOLMES!!

hope it all shakes out for ya tho.. its frustrating fer sure.
