Subject:engine swap from auto to manual tranny
From:John Morris
Date:Sat, 8 Feb 2003 22:56:41 -0500

Hello all - am hoping to glean some list wisdom before embarking on an
engine swap. I'm headed out tomorrow to pick up a 2.1L engine that was mated
to an auto tranny and my intentions are to swap it into my '89 Wolfsburg
with manaul tranny. After looking over the Bentley, it appears to be a
matter of removing converter drive plate and installing flywheel along with
checking/shimming for correct end play. What other considerations are there
that a novice like myself has failed to recognize? Thanks in advance for all
your help.
