The story so far- when I talked to the wreckers( sorry auto parts dismantlers) they said it was an auto, when I got there it turns out to be a manual. Tomorrow they will lift it out for me and the job can start. I appreciate the help from you blokes.

Your help is much appreciated. As I am going from the auto to the manual, I guess I dont need to change the ecu or trans oil cooler. Thanks again

Evening all. I have a 1.8 petrol with a soft cyl head in a manual. Have found an auto with a good motor. Question is will the motor split from the auto and bolt to the manual? Clearly have to install flywheel etc in place of converter drive plate . Help appreciated.
