once again being dumb as a mule and knowing english like a thai whore, I understand that Theo said that we needed to use a bearing if we were to use an auo engine and converted to a manual, is that bearing in the flywheel? one other thing, he also mentioned one thing about the throttle position, does this mean that the one that comes with the auto engine doesn't work? do with need to source a throttle body from a manual? or could this be modify?

Thanks in advance

and merry christmas to you all and the ones you love

the bearing is the spigot bearing and it goes in the end of the crank (flywheel end)
could be wrong but i think you need a manual tps and ecu.

Ecu from an automatic works fine.

Auto throttle body is also the same as manual.

The manual throttle position sensor has a three pin plug, the auto one has a five pin plug.
It is possible to use the auto tps but they are also a bit taller and some people who have used them say they have been pressed up against the underneath of the bonnet.
