Posted March 18, 200618 yr comment_159881 :classic: :squareeye While I was getting ready to swap out my auto trans for a manual in my 260Z I did alot of reading first. Both here and in ZCAR.com If it were'nt for these two sites I am sure I would of wasted a lot of time and money. Anyway, while I was reading about this swapI ran across the "pesky spacer" on the rear of the crankshaft. Had I not known about that ahead of time I would of surely tried to install the manual and pulled out what little hair I have left. What I didn't find was any photos of this spacer. Sooooo here are some pics of it in place and off the crank. I hope this helps someone in the future. Again thanks to all who have posted and made my life easier :classic: Bobby_Lee Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19262-that-pesky-spacer-when-youre-auto-trans-swapping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 19, 200618 yr comment_159890 Thanks loads for the pictures, Bobby! I'm hoping to do the swap on my car next month, and while I did know about the spacer, actually seeing what it looks like helps.
