You will need the Mazda Auto counter weight that is specific to your engine, i.e. FD FC FE

Your manual engine will have not have a counterballence weight to bolt your new flywheel onto,

Once your flywheel is removed you will find you have nowhere to fit the six bolts that will hold you new flywheel to the engine


All aftermarket flywheels, no matter what the make need somthing to bolt onto which is why you need an Auto weight

hope this helps
