I know there are tons of threads about the automatic to manual swap. I need to know about puting an automatic onto a manual engine. I know that the front counter weight is different and the rear housing is different some how, but I don't know if the auto will bolt to the manul rear housing or not? Does anyone know whats different? I looked at the micro fish and they have different part numbers and even the excentric shaft has different ones too!



Thanks any info would help!!

You will need the automatic rear counterweight and change the bearing/seal inside rear of the e-shaft. The auto tranny bolt holes will line up except for one bolt.

umm, starter would go where?

No can do,

The automatic starter will not mount to a manual engine rear plate. The rear plates are different between automatic and manual engines.

Are you sure about that? I had no trouble mating an automatic to a manual engine before. The starter bolts to the trans, not the engine.



FD might be different somehow, but the OP didn't specify what engine or transmission.

Im guessing the O.P. was referring to the FD.



The rear irons are different, as stated before.
