Hey guys hows it going, ive got a quit question regarding the flex plate for the 5.2 318. i have a 318 from a 99 dakota and im swapping my 2003 dakota currently with the 3.9, i purchased a flywheel for the 5.2 and totally forgot about the flex plate, will i be able tog et away with out or with the v6 flexplate since the flywheel has the 8 notches ? if not can someone shoot me a link of where i can purchase one, ive been on summit and rock auto but not sure if its the correct one. and btw i have the 5 speed manual NV3500 thanks !!

If you've got a 5 speed, you don't need a flex plate - the clutch pressure plate bolts directly to the flywheel, and if you have a flywheel with 8 notches you're all set. The flex plate is used only for bolting up the torque converter on an automatic transmission.
