Default need some help please........?

I have a 2002 mustang with a 3.8! It was automatic but i took the trans and rear end out of my old 99 and made the 02 stick shift. Both cars have the v6 but when i changed everything over from the 99 to the 02 and started it, it has a mad vibration coming from either the clutch or flywheel....i was told it was the flywheel and it is not properly balanced! Any help on how to set my flywheel on properly so theres no vibration? Im open to any suggestions!

Did you take the flywheel from the manual car?

Its because the 99 was externally balanced and the 02 is internally balanced. You will need an apr00-04 neutral balanced flywheel.

At least all 99's were externally balanced. The 00's were a mix of internally and externally balanced depending on when the engine was assembled.
