Either keep the auto or buy the whole lot, pedal box and all and put your effort into a conversion rather than an engine rebuild.

Re: Russ's 2.1 SED Auto now in Mandarin
Small update.... engine is back in, finally!.... but minus the transmission mount. It's currently resting on a block of wood on the subframe.
Can anyone confrim my hunch that there are two versions, one manual and one auto. I expect it's all in the bracket rather than the rubber mount.

Re: Russ's 2.1 SED Auto now in Mandarin
I cannot confirm for sure but i am positive there are two gearbox mounting cradles, one for auto and one for manual, Paul ran into this with his recent conversion project as well i believe.

Re: Russ's 2.1 SED Auto now in Mandarin
The reason for the two is the clutch cable end rest is built into the mount as a single cast..
