Has anyone ever swapped an engine setup for an automatic trans into their vehicle with a manual transmission? Or, used a crank from an engine that was mated to a automatic transmission, and swapped the crank into the engine for use with a manual transmission and had to remove the automatic transmission pilot bushing (or what the FSM calls a "Pilot Converter"?
I'm swapping in a JDM VG33E and the JDM engine was mated to an auto trans and I need to remove the pilot converter and install a pilot bushing to mate to my manual trans. I imagine one could use the typical hydraulic pressure" method and pop it out by pumping grease into the internal chamber in the back of the crankshaft, but I would need a really large bolt or pin of some kind.
Anyone have any advice on such a job?
Thanks!
