| Post subject: | Auto and Manual 4efte difference |
Has anyone else used an auto engine as a base for their conversion? Just putting my observations of parts that are different when swapping a manual box onto an auto engine. I used a 6 speed manual on mine, but its the same case as a 5 speed. -The two top gearbox mounting bolts need to be swapped to longer bolts as the manual bell housing is thicker. 
-The rear gearbox mount is a different thickness, like in the picture below.

Isn't the auto box significantly larger around the driveshaft opening (in the subframe) and thus an auto is not an option in a mini? |

I went the other way around and put a Manual 'box on an Auto engine..it just bolted straight up for me with no problems. |

Yeah, i got an auto car and took the block off that. Still got the auto in the shed. Bloody big lump of metal it is. |

Few more findings on this, Does the auto have a diffferent starter motor mounting than a manual? The auto one i pulled off had a bolt that went through the bellhousing and into a thread on the starter motor, and the other bolt went through the starter and into a thread on the bellhousing. Ive swapped to a 6 speed manual, but theres no thread to bolt the starter motor onto. Anyone had this happen? |

Must be - My (manual 'box) starter motor has two bolts that mount the starter motor to the bell housing, and they are both through the starter and into threads on the bell housing. |
