If you shattered it trying one way then the answer is easy, put it on the other way when you get a new spacer...
Best I remember it goes behind the fhywheel. (between the flywheel and the motor)

yup no spacer...dam thats a ze with quitea few miles ...anywho... theres only a spacer if its automatic..i took one off the kfze when i took off the auto flywheel. The manual one just sits on top.. Im guerssing what you can cal a spacer is that little bearing in the center?

when you take the Auto Fywheel off i believ there was 2 spacers...one on the front of the Auto flwheel and one behind...but when you install your Manual Flywheel you do not use any spacers at all.
Its not that hard.
