Installing a pilot bearing on a car that was formerly an automatic (so it didn't have a pilot bearing previously), any idea how deep to install the new bearing? Is it flush with the crank or recessed a ways?? Also, replaced rear main seal while leaving the seal retainer in place per FSM and applied ...

Awesome thank you brother, gonna chip away at the swap here and there after work every day til she's done.

Might be a complete newbie question here, but is there a difference between a carb from auto and manual? I am swapping my 83 FWD hatchback from auto to manual transmission... I know it has some kind of linkage that goes to the auto trans right? Is this not on the manual car carburetor? How do I go a...

I didn't see any posts about aftermarket flywheel options for our cars with 3ac engine? I have a 1983 FWD hatchback that is in the middle of being converted from auto to manual trans. and I was wanting to slap a new flywheel in it but can't seem to find any options? I found one flywheel that says it...

Thanks for the input guys. I still haven't found a definitive answer so I suppose I will buy the transmission and cross my fingers. Surely somebody will buy it off of me if it doesn't work out. Thanks again

I'm trying to convert a 1983 automatic hatchback to a manual transmission. I have sourced a 5 speed out of a 2wd wagon from another country. I know this should bolt up, but will the new crossmember from the 2wd wagon bolt up to my hatchback? Any other concerns/input would be greatly appreciated

So I'm guessing this project is never going to come to fruition? I was hoping to see it completed

I am going to go grab a manual transmission from a 4wd car this week whether I can use it or not. I'm hoping to be able to use it for this project but if not then it will be a spare for when I get my 4wd car. Anything else I should grab off this car for my conversion? I'm planning on grabbing the cl...

So I can use a 5 speed manual just not from a 4wd car?

These are great notes thank you! I love your YouTube videos also. You should totally make a YouTube video of this process next time you rebuild a 3a (if there is a next time?). Thanks for all that you do for our community!

Awesome good to know- thank you very much for the info. So far my search is coming up empty for parts so you are saying I can only use the 4 speed manual transmission?

I currently have a FWD hatch with an automatic transmission. The car only has 91k miles on it and I'm looking for everything to make it a manual transmission. I don't care if it's a 4 speed, 5 or 6 speed it doesn't matter. I need the transmission and all of the other related parts to make this happe...

Is this car still available??

I will come grab it if it's still available. I live in WA

Are any of these parts still available? I need everything to manual swap my 83 hatch 2wd....
