KLZE Question

Will an Automatic KLZE be an easy transfer to a manual KLZE ?

Am pretty sure its the same engine just different box ... does anbody know if this is true ... i.e. 100% true

I dont want to spend money on one if the manual box from my 2.0 V6 doesnt fit

I dunno ... am pretty sure it does ... maybe I have to sign up with Astina GT and start asking some questions

would it really mater what gearbox was on the KLZE, the engng is the same in both your F's Dan, jut different boxes, more than likely the same with the ZE

Can't see any reason why they'd be different. I hope there can't be any different as my 'new' engine is from an auto!

lol thats what I thought Mark - its just a friend of mine was telling me about something about Autos and the swap to manual is not always as simple as its seems... cant remember why tho

Found this the other day, might not answer your question about the auto gearbox but made for good reading. Also its for the MX3 but I thought the principles would be the same with doing an engine swap in an F..

Theres also a BPT swap guide and a KLZE journal in the forum. :thumbright:

Oh, I was told that I'd need to swap sumps between the auto and manual.

Thats ok cos I would have a spare 2.0 manual engine anyway

But I cant see why ?? unless the sump is different shape due to the different size of the Auto and manual box ?

It supplies oil to the autobox I guess.
