Backwards Flywheel?? (94, 1.3L, Automatic)

[msheliga]

I have a 1994 Ford Aspire with a 1.3 Liter Engine and an automatic transmission.

Last week mechanic one tried to put a new engine in. He failed.
Mechanic two tells me that the flywheel (or flexiplate?) was put in backwards. I understand it is concave like a contact lens or frisbee.


My questions are:

1) Is this possible? Most cars have a bolt pattern that does not allow
this to happen. I presume that it is possible for a 94 aspire.

2) Will having drove it this way for a 1 mile test drive possibly? likely? for sure? have messed up the transmission - torque converter - other part.

3) If the flywheel is in backwards is possible to run the car 10 miles?, 50 miles? 100miles? without hurting the car?

4) Is it possible that my old engine was driven for 11,000 miles with the flywheen backwards?


Many Thanks

Mike
