m52 auto to manual conversion

[bigdoe]

apart from the box,flywheel and clutch is there anything else that needs adding/changing to complete the conversion?.

Hey man, my M52 was an auto and i converted to manual. That's it, although it meant my flywheel has no (manual-specific) spreader plate to go behind the bolts on the flywheel - Danthe managed to sort me one, You may have one but worth mentioning

Is your car auto too, or just the m52 engine?

[bigdoe]

it's just the engine i'm using has come out of an auto.

I think you also need to fit a spigot bearing if the engine was previously an auto

[AndyZippy]

Ah yes my bad, you do. What box have you got, bigdoe?

[bigdoe]

it's a 5 speed box out of a 328i,where does the spigot bearing go?.
