Installing rebuilt 2.2 motor

[Hatterasker]

I might be installing a rebuilt 2.2l to replace my tired 2.1l. The 2.2 comes from a van with manual transmission. My van has automatic transmission. Is there anything that I need to do to the engine as it moves from manual to auto where it joins the transaxle?

On a side note, on my phone transaxle autocorrects to twaddle.

I believe the two lower engine mounting studs at the bellhousing end are longer on the automatic transmission, so you will want to transfer those to the replacement engine. Flywheel crank bolts are a different length than the flexplate crank ones, so you will need to pay attention to that. Throttle cable connects differently, so you may need to address that too.

Going from a flywheel to a flex plate, you should also address the endplay. Measure the endplay before removing the flywheel on the new engine and save that number somewhere safe.

Install the flex plate using the same shim stack and remeasure endplay. If you are lucky, no change is required. If not, you will need to reshim. Possibly your shim stack from the old engine, might have what you need.

While you are sorting out the endplay, it is better to use the old flexplate crankshaft bolts since you may be coming off and on a couple times. Final assembly, new bolts is a good recommendation.

No one talk about the most important thing when swapping from auto-stick or the opposite.

Check the "End Play" of the crankshaft, you may need to add or remove a shim.

You also want to: Change the torque converter seal, the flex plate inner seal the crankshaft seal

You CAN reuse the TC Plate bolt

Purist? That's funny. I've never once threatened or attempted to intimidate anyone regarding my opinions. I've always stated that my opinions are subjective and entirely philosophical. Nobody is in anyway required to sublimate themselves to my personal design aesthetic. I merely state an opinion, the same as anyone else here. You on the other hand have taken intimidation to the next level.
