my ADM NA 2+2 is written off. I might buy it back from insurance and buy a JDM auto TT locally... Can someone confirm, to complete the TT manual convert, I will need: - pedal box - shifter surround - clutch hydraulics - gearbox - flywheel - clutch/pressure plate - starter motor - tail shaft - diff - half-shafts - rear hubs Will I need ANYTHING else to totally swap over without buying any other spares (Ill do the rear main and gearbox front while shes apart)? Will the auto box wiring connect right up to my manual box? inc reverse lights, speed sensor and neutral switch (I will probably ground this for better idle) What tricks and pitfalls do I need to watch for?
Manual conversion list Pretty sure this is all of it, a few wiring alterations as well but nothing major. Check the link for more info. Do not need to change the diff, half shafts hubs. 5 speed TT box TT Flywheel Flywheel bolts x8 Clutch pressure plate Clutch plate Pressure Plate Bolts and Washers New release bearing. Pilot bush Crank shaft bush (from manual crankshaft). Master cylinder NA Clutch pedal and box Manual brake pedal Slave cylinder Flexible clutch line Drive shaft. Brake fluid Shifter surround Shifter boot New shifter mount bushes New rear main seal (as a precaution) https://www.z1motorsports.com/upload/Z1 Auto to 5sp conversion Tech.pdf
Have a read of the article in the link. According to them it will work but some gearbox components are not as strong and the driveshaft UV's are smaller. I have also heard from another very good source that the gbox internals are exactly the same. Would be good to get a definitive answer on this.
I also have heard that the NA box is internally the same as the TT I might explore getting a custom tailshaft made using the rear of the auto shaft and the front of the manual shaft - might be "easier" than a rear end swap. Although the shorter gearing from the NA diff would be great.
