I have a 92 tracer Automatic engine and i replaced it with a 92 escort manual engine
i took off all the extras but it doesnt seem to want to turn the transmission when i bolt in the fly wheel. when i put the engine back in the starter wouldnt turn it either so now i have to take it apart again.
soes anyone know if there are spacing issues for the shim plate?
from changing an automatic with a manual?
please help i need this car running im so close, i think?
First off, you cannot change a 1.9 SOHC with a 1.8 DOHC, the transmissions are totally different. You now have to either get an auto tranny for the Escort engine, or, get the 92 Tracer engine for the tranny.
both the engines are 1.9 it should work but for some reason i cannot get the tranni to move, its not because of different sized engines. it has to be a spacing issue or something, anyone else have any suggestions?
