The flywheel mounts on the end of the crankshaft and puts all the engine power to the transmission through the torque convertor which is bolted directly to it. If the flywheel is broken, the car isn't going to move very long or very far. It will be harder on gas and there is a good possibility that the engine could easily be over revved which creates a whole new set of expensive problems.

I realize it is a real pain to change but it's not something you can live without. Make sure that you get the proper torque settings for the flywheel to crank bolts. Overtightening has been known to create stress cracks in the flywheel and you get to do it again. Also make sure you don't lose the torque convertor bolts. They are a dealer only item and not cheap. They have an odd thread so they can't be replaced with anything else. Hope this helps.

Disconnect the battery, disconnect the Hydraulic Line from the Slave Cylinder, Remove the Starter (2 bolts, 2 wires. Bolts are 14mm, 1 wire is 12mm, 1 plugs in), Remove the Driveshaft(s) (4 12mm bolts) Remove the 6 bolts from the bellhousing (4 are 14mm, 2 are 10mm)
Remove the bolt from the Transfer Case Mount, 12mm (only if it's a 4WD, if it's 2WD this doesn't apply), remove the 2 bolts that hold the Transmission Mount to the Crossmember (12mm or 14mm, it varies)
Slide the transmission back on the crossmember, away from the engine, I recommend running a ratchet strap across the frame to balance the transmission.
Remove the Pressure Plate from the Flywheel (Six 10mm bolts), Inspect the Pilot Bearing (if it needs replaced, you'll need to remove the Flywheel which is held on with six 18mm bolts, drive out the old bearing and drive in the new one, reinstall the flywheel, using Threadlocker on the bolts, torque the bolts to 100 ft lbs) Install the new clutch disc and Pressure Plate, with the centering tool inserted through the disc into the pilot bearing. Use thread locker on the pressure plate bolts and torque them to 20 ft lbs. Remove the centering/alignment tool after you've bolted it together
Remove old Throw Out bearing from input shaft on the transmission and slide the new one on. Slide the Transmission forward (make sure the input shaft slides into the pilot bearing, don't force the transmission into place or you could damage the clutch disc or break the input shaft) Torque the Bellhousing Bolts to 40 ft lbs (4 14mm bolts), Torque the 2 10mm bolts to 14 ft lbs, Install the Starter (torque bolts to 23 ft lbs), Reconnect Hydraulic Line to Slave Cylinder. Torque Transmission Mount Bolts to 30 ft lbs.
Reinstall Driveshafts, torque bolts on flange/yoke to 40 ft lbs. Fill Clutch Master Cylinder with DOT-3 Brake & Clutch Fluid, Open Bleeder Screw on Slave Cylinder and bleed the air out of the system, close bleeder screw.
Reconnect the wires to the Starter, Reconnect the battery.

The books say no. If all the electrical connections are the same, go for it but look at them closely. Also you will want to use the flexplate (flywheel) from the donor vehicle. It was right around 98 or 99 that Chrysler changed the bolt pattern on the torque converter. Chrysler motors are balanced by the torque converter, and this means the four converter bolt holes are not evenly spaced, and must be in the correct alignment to get all four bolts installed. one of the holes in the flywheel has flat sides. If you get that bolt in, and any other bolt in, the other two will go in. if you put that one in and the next one won't go, you need to remove that bolt and rotate the converter to the next hole. do yourself a favor and turn the converter the same way each time to avoid trying positions already tried.

When you get ready to bolt the transmission back to the engine, you have to make sure that the torque convertor is seated all the way into the transmission. With the transmission and engine put together there should be about 1/2 inch between the flywheel (flexplate) and the torque convertor. It should also spin freely. If not then you might not have the convertor all the way in the trans.

hope this helps,

Torque sequence --------- front ' 6 1 3 7 ' of ' ' engine ' 8 4 2 5 ' --------- Step 1: torque bolts in sequence to 37 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque all bolts in sequence an additional 120 degrees Step 3: torque bolts 1,2,3, & 4 an additional 30 degrees recheck final torque in sequence *** CAUTION ***engine uses Torque To Yield head bolts (TTY) thatpermanently stretch during the initial installation.New head bolts must be used when cylinder head isreplaced or re-installed to obtain proper torque.
always torque from center
Tighten each bolt an additional 90° in sequence.

are the three bolts to the torque convertor screwed into the flywheel also? It seems they are not by your description.
the three bolts are on the outer parimeter of the flywheel

2.0L Evolution engine

flywheel bolts 132 =/- 5 N.m. 98 +/- 3 ft lbs.

transmission to engine bolts 48 +/- 6 N.m. 36 +/- 4 ft lbs.

2.0L Non- Evolution engine

flywheel bolts 98 +/-5 N.m. 72 +/- 3 ft lbs.

transmission to engine bolts 48 +/- 6 N.m. 36 +/- 4 ft lbs.

2.4L Ralliart engine

flywheel bolts 132 +/- 5 N.m. 98 +/- 3 ft lbs.

transmission to engine bolts 48 +/- 6 N.m. 36 +/- 4 ft lbs.

there should be a lower flywheel cover that you can unbolt , then turn the flywheel to access all the nuts iin the opening. There should be several nuts to separate the torque conv. from the flywheel.
