TheJugs Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 Can anyone tell me if the flywheel from a manual g/box can be fiited to the crankshaft from an auto g/box ?Its the 2.3 version. Also mine is not fitted with the EGR control valve, were these not fitted to all engines ? Quote
insider Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Can anyone tell me if the flywheel from a manual g/box can be fiited to the crankshaft from an auto g/box ? I'm not quite sure what you're asking but . . .The crankshaft is part of the engine not the gearbox and is usually the same regardless of which type of gearbox is fitted.If a manual gearbox is fitted then a flywheel is used, for an automatic there is an adaptor plate instead of the flywheel. Both are bolted to the same crankshaft. Quote

What I am trying to find out is if the crankshaft has the same diamentions in both versions, ie position of bolts to torque converter plate in relation to flywheel bolt positions. Is there a means to find out the part number for the crank, this would tell me if it is identical ? Quote
insider Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 A Ford Dealer should be able to tell you if the crankshaft is different between engines for manual and auto cars. In my experience though, they are usually the same. Quote
chromedome Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I would also say they are the same. The only difference being what's bolted to it. I have replaced a Focus manual engine with one from an auto. Just removed the torguey bits and fitted the flyweel. Edited June 25, 2009 by chromedome Quote
