I'm currently looking to mate up a RWD auto box (AW71) to a 1.9td (XUD9TE)
I've got the auto flywheel/flexplate from an autobox that was mated to an XUD9 engine so that bolts straight on to my engine. I want to mate the torque converter from the AW71 to it. The torque converter from the XUD engine uses 3 bolts to attach, the AW71 uses 4. Can it be done or will it be imbalanced because of the 3 big holes remaining there? (see crude diagram below) I can't drill 12 holes (lowest common denominator) as the original 3 holes are rather large (to allow access to bolts on the flexplate)
...or the other option, use the torque converter from the XUD. I've no idea if it'd match up with the AW71, plus I don't know how they work. I presume they're specced for each box so it probably wouldn't be suitable.
or do I tap off the starter ring gear and get a new flywheel made up (waterjet/laser cut). That'd be a last resort as I'm broke!
Thanks for any info
