Thought I would bring this back up again with a few more thoughts on it.
Since the M3W uses a Miata starter, the ring gear on the M3W flywheel must be the same diameter/teeth etc as a Miata. I have compared the stub shaft on the M3W that the flywheel bolts to with a Miata flywheel dimension specifications and they match, So a Miata flywheel should bolt to the compensator stub flywheel shaft. I don't know this for sure, but the round plate that bolts inside the motor to trans adapter that houses the flywheel stub shaft and bearing assembly, should represent the same distance as the crank flywheel flange on a Miata motor. In other words, the flywheel "should" be displaced inward inside the trans bell housing at the same depth as if it were bolted to a Miata motor rather than the M3W adapter and flywheel stub shaft.
If that does all match, then there should be no issues with using a Miata lightweight flywheel/clutch setup as a replacement for the more costly M3W original setup.
Has anyone gone the extra mile and done some trial of the Miata setup in their M3W yet?
Still cannot believe that Morgan would change the reference measurements for the M3W from the stock dimensions of a Miata minus the Miata motor etc.
Just thought I would rattle the cage again and see if anyone has any new updates.
Thanks!
Have a great week!
