swop the flywheel over from the manual, use the flex plate from the auto as a dangerous frisbee??

you'll need to put a manual spigot bearing in the crankshaft , and then spanner it all up Daz

I'd add a sump gasket and replace the rear mainseal whist its off too

IIRC, there was a change in the diameter of the spigot on the gearbox input shaft at some time, and consequentially, a change in the spigot bearing as well.
