Ptero Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Engine going in the car has an automatic transmission and the car it's going into currently has a 5spd. I suppose I'll need to change over to the turbo clutch/flywheel. Anything else needed for the swap? I read somewhere about a spacer that needs to be removed as well but I can't seem to find that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) That spacer is on the end of the crank. After you remove the flex plat, just tap it remove it, it not tight. Maybe a1/4" thick. You'll see it. You will also need a pilot bushing to go in the end of the crank. That should be it. You can use the flywheel and clutch you already have with the 5 speed. OH! You also may need the six flywheel/crank bolts from a manual car. They are longer I'm pretty sure due to the thinner flex plate on the auto. Anyone else confirm this? If you have the ones from your current engine, use those. Good luck! Edited December 7, 2011 by z240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcrazy_one Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Besides what z240 already said, Be sure to put the manual transmission spacer plate on so you won't have the automatic 2 piece spacer. Pretty sure I had to use different bell housing bolts. I can't remember if they were longer or shorter, it's been several years. Good luck Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2blue280 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The bellhousing bolts are longer on the 5-speed (I think they're 20mm longer but I'm not 100% sure on that). I also seem to remember that the flywheel/flexplate bolts were the same length. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
