Default AH!!! got an 88 ZC tranny with a 89-91 clutch an flywheel assembly!! what do i do???

ok, someone on here lied to me and told me they had a 89-91 jdm ZC trans, so i bought it. well, turns out they were lying/mistaken/lazy/worthless and it turns out its an 88. heres my situation, i have a 89-91 disk, pressure plate, release bearing and flywheel. what do i have to do to make this tranny work on my car? im BROKE and cant afford to buy a new clutch kit and flywheel. please tell me there is an easy way to kae this work. can i just buy a new disk? si there any way?? thanks for the help

i remember seeing on here, that if its the 90-91 flywheel, a clutch disc from an old prelude has that size and fits the 88's splines.

basically, i'm hoping to catch that person's eye, because i can't find the post, and don't remember what gen it's from

first off, do you have 89 clutch and flywheel or 90-91? they are different - 89 uses a 200mm clutch and 90-91 uses a 212mm clutch - the flywheels are not the same - the 90-91 has a larger diameter mounting bolt circle - if you have the 89 200mm clutch and flywheel, use the 88 CRX/Civic Si disc - if you have 90-91 212mm clutch and flywheel, use the 87 Prelude 2.0L disc

i actually have a 95 flywheel (same 212 mm) and a 90-91 disk and pressure plate.

holy ****, i cannot believe there is actually a cure for my situation. know anywhere u can get an 87 prelude disk for cheap? needs to be performance, i run 10psi of boost.

OR will a stock disk still hold up well with an upgraded pressure plate? cause if so, ill buy a cheap stock disk and keep my good exedy plessure plate.

new stock disc might work for a while, but it isn't going to last very long
