i was just wondering, i might be looking into buying a non running first gen just to use the engine core, but the thing is, it's an auto, and i was browsing around the atkins website and saw that they had a rebuild kit for the 12a, and nex to it said "M/T"
this confused me, because i'm guessing that it stands for Manual Transmission, but if i wanted to say swamp my auto into a manual, couldnt i just buy the transmission and replace the flywheel?
*i know that there's more involved than just that, but that's the only part that i'm concerned about right now
or maybe the M/T stands for something else? if anybody could help me out there, i'd be very thankful

How many miles on the flywheel, should need to be resurfaced if it has lots of heat checking.
The pilot bearing is tricky while the engine is in the car, but can be done.
Make sure you don't misplace your clutch alinment tool.
Taking the slave cylinder off the transmission can be hard to get to the bolts, recommend a wobble socket for that.

Only 65K on the car... No slipping whatsoever right now, but since I'm fairly sure it's the original, I figured I'd be safe doing it right now...

No slave cylinder on an automatic. [/wiseass]
Why do some of you have to comment on everything, which really adds no value to the topic. Maybe you should spend less time here and more time in the chat rooms.

Pilot bearing is a bitch,If it looks OK (not rusty and dusty) you might want It leave it alone. Anti seize the needle bearings. If it does'nt look OK I have a small slide hammer with a expandable end on it that works really well.See if you can beg, borrow, or steal one. Use some PB blaster "Best nut buster In the Whole ******* world Thank You" there is a stud on the top of the engine that can make installation a pain Do what you want with that I've seen a few cars with it removed. Good Luck

Maybe you should lighten up a little, chief.
