i have a 97 accord ex coupe with the f22b vtec motor. i am in the middle of a tranny install and am replacing the clutch and flywheel. the stock flywheel had a thrust bearing/bushing that the input shaft of the tranny rode on. the act streetlite flywheel does not have a thrust bearing/bushing in the center and the hole where it should go is larger than the hole in the stock one because i tried to use the stock bushing and it wouldnt fit. Is this bushing needed or can i just put the whole thing together without it. any advice is very appreciated. also i am speaking of the bushing in the center whole of the flywheel....not the clutch throwout bearing or anything like that. all the local parts stores knew the bushing i was talking about but said such part was unavailable.
