auto/manual-swap...quick question

[Benedict]

I'm confused on what needs to be done about the pilot bushing, and mounting the flywheel.

Crankshaft of motor originally manual trans


Crankshaft of auto




So if I understand this correctly, I need to remove the marked peice (or drill out with a 13/16th bit) to clear the input shaft of the manual trans (also marked).

The bushing/bearing next to the clutch fork on the input shaft is the throw out bearing correct? Where is the pilot bushing?

I guess I'm confused on how things are "supposed" to be...and how I'm gonna get that ring out of the crankshaft.

The pilot bushing is the thing in question in the back end of the crankshaft. Remove the big one from the new engine and put a new one for a manual in its place.

Yes the thing on the clutch fork is your throwout bearing. Replace it....

is this the one I need?

or can I re-use the one I have from the other motor?

yes, the pos from the second pic needs to be removed. have fun, it`s not easy. see my write up for some ideas...

I managed to get the ring pulled from the auto motor. Had to file down a puller and jam it in there. Was such a tight fit I had to cut the ring off of the puller once it was out.

I also pulled the pilot bushing but bent it in the process. Hopefully the dealer will have one in stock.

Need to verify which is the correct one for an 87T 5-speed.
