tswhit Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi all, Ive got a 3.9 auto here, to replace the engine in my 3.9 manual car, is it simply a case of popping the flywheel and clutch on the auto engine? Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Can't answer your question directly but I see no reason why not. The above does not help but you possibly need to swap the throttle linkages over as the new one will have the facility for the kick-down cable and may not fit with your existing throttle cable.

LittleBlue88 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 3.9 manual and auto have the same throttle linkage so cables no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will C Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I haven't done this job myself but you may find that you need to change the flywheel and input shaft bush too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I haven't done this job myself but you may find that you need to change the flywheel and input shaft bush too. You will have to fit the flywheel, and the bush from a manual car, I have seen where the steel bush has not been changed and the input shaft will weld itself to the crankshaft.

Input shaft bush? I take it this is part of the flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It supports the outer end of the gearbox input shaft. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
