Is there a difference between a engine hooked up to a auto tranny or a manual tranny?

The basic swap is not hard, but it's not very easy, either. The standard shifter might have to have a slightly relocated hole in the floorboard. The engine is the same in both cars and if not, should still bolt up the same way. Don't forget the clutch pedal!

i own a repair shop,and the wiring harness is a little different for the automatic,than it is the standard shift one,that's the only thing that would be different ,since you have both cars you could easily do this,also the computer for the automatic is a little different ,but you have both of those also,so your good on all of this,the last one of these i did i wound up buying 4 other donor cars to get all the parts i needed to finish it with,and from that point on i said id never do another one,but you should have everything you need to do it with,but i guarantee you ,you,ll wind up having to buy something,it always happens that way,but you got the majority of it anyway,all i can say is have fun,i did,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Yes there is first of all in a manual transmission you change the gears yourself where as in an automatic transmission a computer does it. Second, an automatic transmission has a torque converter and manual transmissions don't. Also in a manual transmission car you can choose which gear you want your car to be in, in an automatic car you probably won't even know what gear your car is in. Finally, manual transmission cars get better gas mileage. My recommendation would be stick with the manual you would have better control over your car and it would be more fun =)

Make sure that it is set for the gear ratio and lines up properly,the linkage might not fit right unless you cut and drill.

If you are just switching engines,no problem as long as they are the same.But if you are switching trannys to a car that was a automatic,you will have many problems.(clutch pedal,linkage,etc) Good luck
