As above J spec will the engine from a manual, drop strait into an auto please?

yes ..but i bit more than a straight swap!!!

loom/ecu !!!

 

andyduff is back on monday,, he's the man to ask !!!...

 

he's at the British GP...having a great time ... :D

 

wozza ...

 

.

Yes it will, Spigot bearing in the crank will want changing, and being a manual, the turbos will not spool up as quick as an auto. But its hardly noticeable!

Thanks for the reply, probably better explain myself a little more;

My car is a J spec auto, the engine has had it, I have the chance of an engine from a J spec manual from Stenorth that has head gasket failure, i wont be changing the box as I am sad and like autos!!

Hence the question as to wether it would be a strait swop over?

Ps forgot to ask!

Will my auto tubs bolt strait on too?

Yes

Ok thanks, hope fully I have another engine to play with then, my original has broken badly!

No worries matey!!

Dont forget bud....if your putting a manual engine with an auto box, make sure you've removed the manual spigot bearing and fitted the auto one to the end of the crank :D

 

Also you will need to fit the auto flywheel and starter too.

The driveplate for the auto, and starter will be on the other engine/car.

many thanks for the help.
