hey fellas im tyson i got this deadly as EB series 2 and i love it currently workin the engine, 30thou over bore and i dug up a tickford head out of an xr6, but i need some help. im about to drop out the auto gearbox as i found a 5 speed manual but i dont have a huge timeframe to do it. i got the clutch plates, fly wheel, pressure plate bellhousing tailshaft an gearbox and pedals and all that shit. but i need to know what size spigot bush the auto has and whether ill need to get a different one for my manual. if anyone has an idea it would be much appreciated if they could give us a heads up i dont wanna buy the wrong one and then have a car without a gearbox for a week.
thanks aye,
tyson

autos dont have a spigot bearing mate.
the converter has a bit that slides into the hole in the back of the crank instead.
so you will need to purchase one

i know the rear main seal is the same from EA-AU (and i think even higher lol)

Mate, I have a spigot bearing here if you're interested. Its brand new and came with my rebuilt 4.0 and I had no use for it as I have an auto. Im in yeppoon so postage wouldnt be all that exy either.
