Ill use the flywheel from my auto motor and pull the pilot bearing out of the back of the crank. My car is complete so I've got the linkage and everything on the auto car. The motor in my car starts and runs really well. But has a tremendous rod knock. I know that's an oxymoronic statement lol. But it starts quick and idles smooth, just a lot of metal on metal.



I swapped a 240D to manual (added pilot and changed covers), and then put a manual motor into an auto 240D (pulled the pilot and changed flywheels). So I'm familiar with how to do it, I just wanted to make sure on an M115 crank the auto and manual had the same bolt pattern.
