Car Forum / MINI / April 2004Auto to manual
I have just bought a 1989 1275 auto metro to transfer the engine to my 1990 998cc. I have been told that my original gear box will not sync with the engine . Is this correct or will I have to get a new box if so what type would be best for the job ? thanks in advance  Signature------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kraftysworld.co.uk Beer does not make you fat. It makes you lean- against bars, poles and tables http://2sig.kraftysworld.co.uk The only gearbox that will work on the auto engine is the auto gearbox. The oil ways are different to the manual one. You need an engine from a manual Metro if you want 1275cc. That would work with your existing manual gearbox if needed.

There are loads of manual 1275 engines out there still! see if you can get a late MG or VP engine, they i beleieve are nearly 90bhp, as opposed to the normal 60bhp for std 1275 city types.

Have a look for the dipstick on the 1275 auto engine... As others have pointed out, auto motors only fit auto boxes, manual motors only fit manual boxes. Either buy a manual motor or buy an auto front subframe and convert. cheers every1 should have looked into that first before i bought Signature------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.kraftysworld.co.uk Beer does not make you fat.
