I bought a 2001 GT 5 speed used off of Craigs List, 2 weeks later the clutch exploded at 1am on a Saturday night. I looked up the Vin code says I the early 10.5 clutch and PP. Order in from American Muscle, tore car apart. The clutch disk came apart in about 15 pieces. I put all old parts for the scrap guy. Wrong clutch PP wont bolt up i have the 11" clutch. So I called American Muscle again, as I was on phone I seen junk yard yellow paint all over tranny. So I figured some one swapped with the late 01 Tranny. So they sent me another clutch 11" Ram HDX for the late, for the same money ($80.00 more) and no frt. It comes in rite size clutch but mounting holes (6.25 apart) wont line up when I mount on dowel pins... Called them again they have no idea whats wrong, they want me to buy a $300.00 flywheel. Will this flywheel bolt to my car??? I dont know how to add a picture to this... Anyone HELP

Go to autozone and tell them year, make, model. You may want to get in touch with previous owner and ask WTF?

Wait.... You have a 6 bolt flywheel and somehow someone mounted an 8 bolt flywheel onto it? No wonder it blew up, did you notice any crazy drivetrain vibration when u got this car? You need a 6 bolt gt flywheel and a clutch to match it.

Ok update!!!!
Found out last night from Brandon Ford (Omar) that I have a 01 Crown Vic motor so now I need a standard shift flywheel with 6 bolts to fit my 11" clutch kit
