ZD30 will torque converter and plate fit to a manual engine

[Dagwill]

Hi, Engine in my auto has done 360K and have just sheared the little dowel from timing sprocket driving the cams, so same result as broken timing chain. I can get a manual engine and just do a swap "IF" its possible to swap the flywheel for the existing plate on the back of my existing engine, which is auto.
Thanks David

I can't see why not. People are doing auto to manual conversions, vice versa, all the time.

Maybe someone could check on their Nissan Fast to see if cranks are the same part #.
I can't see Nissan complicating production by having a different crank for manual or auto when there's no logical reason for it.

Might be onto something John. But all these part numbers could well supersede to the one part number which this doesn't say.

Cheers, Mark. Looks like the ZDs between 11.2002 & 08.2005 didn't have a crankshaft :)
