Vs manual to auto engine??

[bhagl1]

I recent spun the big end bearing in my 96 vs 5 speed,
i took it to get a new motor put in it,
the new motor is an auto motor and my mechanic said that i need a manual motor cause the auto wont fit the crank or something is that right?
Thanks Brendon

the flywheel will bolt up to the auto crank ok, i think what your mechanic is meaning is the auto cranks dont have any holes for dowell pins as used in the manual flywheel

your mechanic could probably get the dowell pin holes drilled into the auto crank

have a read of the link below

Just out interest, how did you spin the bearing - how many K's, overheat?...oil used etc etc.
