Default well crap my flywheel is cracked

I have my tranny and converter out currently being replaced . I just noticed this morning while taking off heat shields to paint, that my flywheel is cracked in three different places. All the cracks are where the converter mounts, but at the edges (where teeth are). What should I replace it with ? I guess this flywheel didnt appreciate to many 3k launches !!!

Replace it... Mine was cracked too when I installed my stall. I ended up getting one that the mechanics had lying around there. It's been good to me so far.

well I just took the stock flywheel off it's a POS IMO !!! I dont feel to comfortable replacing it with a stock unit. I ordered a TCI flexplate from MTI. This coulda been a disaster waiting to happen.

Is this a late model? I replaced my '02 with a '98
take-off when I did my converter.

Same happened to me before the TC swap. Had it replaced with a 98 for the time being.
I think I will get a TCI one when I change trannies.
