Hi guys help needed,
I bought a Mercedes 1992 190d converted to a OM606 turbo diesel with a W203 six speed manual gearbox.
Three days later the clutch started slipping, gearbox was stripped, the clutch disc was worn on half of one face and the other half wasn't worn.
Previous owner has put a budget clutch kit and flywheel from the diesel pump UK shop. I have contacted them and have bought a Mercedes performance clutch to upgrade it. Now the problem is..... the new clutch has no timing gears/ring on the back of the flywheel but the old one does.
Question: Would I still be able to use the new clutch with no timing ring on the back?
Will the engine run with this new flywheel or will I have to machine the old flywheel to take the new clutch? - my concern here is getting the measurements exact could be a nightmare

When I contacted dieselpumpUK they said the original flywheel was from a Mercedes 220 CDI but my engine is definitely an OM606.
I feel at a loss on what to do, any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers
