That pesky spacer when you're auto trans swapping

[Bobby_Lee]

: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:

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.

Yup, this is important! It is also mentioned in my guide......

Don't forget to put a pilot bushing in the end of the crankshaft befoe installing the manual trans.
