after trying to find parts for this car, i'm considerting changhing the flywheel out of a wagon i got...why is the hatch 1" bigger than the wagon, if it's the bigger car?

It isn't - 80 through 82 used the 200mm clutch. 83 through 89 2WD's used the same 200mm clutch.

 

It's the 83 and newer 4WD's that use the 225mm clutch.

 

I have told you this - third time now. Call Discount Import Parts in Milwaukie or go to the dealer.

 

This is not an unusual clutch - hell Autozone can get them easily.

 

As for the interchangeability - the 200mm and 225mm interchange without issue. You have to use the flywheel, disc and pressure plate for the 200mm. Personally I throw the 200mm's in the trash as they are too small for a 4WD.
