will an automatic motor work in..................?

roclife · Apr 1, 2003

i blew the motor in my car that was a 5 speed, the company that i ordered a used motor from sent me a automatic motor. i was told all i had to change was the pilot baring, is this true or do i have to send it back? just want to know if it will work with my 5 speed trans?
also are the automatic internals all the same as the 5 speed motors or am i a retard for asking? lol

it's all the same... just use the wiring harnesses from your 5-speed

The engine is a drop in replacement. There's no such thing as an "automatic motor". If they sent you a motor without a flywheel or with a flexplate on the crankshaft instead of a flywheel, you will need to take that off your old engine and use it on this one, along with all the other clutch parts.

Just to ease your mind even more, I personally had a Zetec that used to be an auto installed in my manual when I blew a rod.

do not forget the crank position sensor housing!!!! You can only remove it from your old engine from inside the bellhousing. I transplanted an automatic engine into my mtx car and it would not start!!! I had to take the engine back out after I had finished everything just because of the stupid sensor housing. on the automatic it is about an inch thicker.
