This link was priceless to me...the ebay seller I got mine from was
clueless...

I know I would have figured it out, now I know the right way to do it...

Many thanks William...

I finally got a parts list from KEP for the 1.9TD to automatic for my
weekender...silly me wanted to know what was in the "kit"...only had to pull
two of their teeth to find out...LOL

Has anyone done this, and can help me with a parts list...I have a bunch of
the parts from a diesel Westie, but I'm not sure about what else is
needed...it's a winter project...I think I've located a 1.9 to use in the
meantime...

Den.
