Hi All,

I have a 1500SP attached to a semi auto box.
Does anything need to be changed on the motor / flywheel to put it on a manual box?
I know there is a torque converter I need to remove but do I need to change the flywheel or anything else?

Flywheel and oil pump.

Oil pump is a 2 stage one for the ATF so needs to be swapped out for a normal one.

12 volt 200mm.

It's the most common one.

a flywheel needs to replace the auto flexplate

the flexplate is bolted to the torque converter..
