auto manual starter motor differences

Featured Replies

got this from the oz site :

 

Only differance is the plate that bolts on with the bottom bolt.... This plate is there only to hold the wires and has 2 plastic clips to retain the wires in the area.

The auto plate has a small extension that holds the transmission oil lines that run to the oil cooler..... the manual plate doesnt have this bit obviously.

I had this question when I was doing a manual conversion. The guy doing the conversion told me I needed a manual starter motor so i started to do some digging as I didnt believe him.

 

Turns out, alot of Auto to manual conversion on TT's use kits from an NA. Because the bellhousing is different on an NA box, (and you use a larger flywheel on a TT) and the starter bolts to the bell housing you would need to effectivly space the starter motor away from the flywheel otherwise it wouldnt bolt up. There isnt really a solution to this other than use spacers/washers to gain the extra clearance.

 

That was my understanding of it anyway.

 

In order to answer your actual question, there is no difference between them in terms of fitment or sizes etc. Only difference seems to be that bracket for the oil lines as Jaikai mentioned.
