[shreks vp]

hi i got a project car a putting a v6 n 5 speed in what i want to know is a t5 v6 series 1 and 2 the same do they both bolt up to a series 1 manual motor and is auto and manual starter motors the same??

cause i have a v6 series1 manual motor and can get a cheap t5 5 speed but he dont know if its series 1 or 2

I believe the gear boxes are the same, the difference is in the series 1 & 2 flywheels.
Starter motors are different.
Where in Brisbane are you?

darra so whats the difference between auto and man starter motors

 

[NPreston]

The Bosch starter motor fitted to the automatics is the induced pole type with four brushes and four pole shoes with field coils.

The Delco Remy reduction gear starter motor fitted to manual transmission vehicles is the induced pole type with four brushes and four pole shoes with field coils.

So it seems apart from different brands the manual model has a reduction gear and the automatic seems not to have a reduction gear.

I think the alloy housing on the starter where the gear engages is different auto to manual starter...all have the reduction gear its the whiring noise they all make.

[markovr]
