He mentioned that as long as it didn't increase the power of the car, it was just a mod, iirc

All the best with this James, stay safe

Tunnie, spoke to someone more helpful at Insurance company. basically as long as I don't want it to increase cars value, it's ok. I can even add the mod online

Interesting, I guess you did not tell them no retail spec manual 3.2 MV6 was made 

Would imagine value would increase, as it would be one of a kind?

Nice on James

Looks like good progress already. Working in anger maybe 

Good luck with this project.  I'll be interested to follow the project. Want need the tips myself as I already drive a car with the correct amount (3) pedals.  , but interested all the same

If God had wanted us to drive mauals he would have given us three legs and three feet

If God had wanted us to stay in Caravans, he would not have invented hotels 

Er, don't think God invented either Caravans or Hotels.

Well I didn't get much done yesterday. Master cylinder fitted, brake pedal swapped over, clutch petal assembly and clutch pedal fitted. Now looks like so:



I spent a while working out how the gear assembly etc worked and have drilled out all of the Auto Rubbish..

Sadly I forgot to order a spigot bearing and bush so I couldn't fit the box.

One question.

In the guide, Matchless mentions an adaptor ring, between the crank and driveplate.

I cannot see any type of ring?? My flywheel seems to bolt directly to the crank? Is there anything else to remove?

Sadly won't have a day off for another 4 days or so now, so will pick this up again, then, hopefully having ordered the bearing etc that I need from Andyc (and the crank seal!)

I also need some interior trim for the manual conversion.. if anyone can help, thread is in parts wanted

Cheers,
James

I don't suppose you can shed any light on the adaptor ring, what such a thing is? I have read I have an old one from the Auto setup that I need to ditch, but can't see that I had one fitted...

Just everythink comes off from engine so your left with bear chank end then the DMF bolts on, also my mate might have gear stick leather but not the best condition with gear knob. will let you know on it soon.

Hi James,
The "adaptor ring" is more of a spacer between flex plate and crank, you must remove it. I almost missed it as it was stuck fast to the end of the crank.
Is your rear oil seal OK?
Have you got the correct flywheel bolts? manual ones are longer than auto. Also, if your bolts are hex head (rather than torx) then grind the end of your socket flat....the bolt heads are very thin and the socket will slip off the bolt else.

[JamesV6CDX]

cheers for all tips

I am so sorry to sound dense, but there is nothing between my crank end and drive plate? The driveplate just bolted straight to engine. Could anyone post a pic of this adaptor ring please? :/

[Darth Loo-knee]

This "Adapter Ring" if you have not removed it,it will be still on. They don't just fall off they have to be knocked off.
As Matchless says they are extremely difficult to see.
Your duel mass flywheel will not sit on properly if this ring is still on. I do have a picture somewhere will see if I can find it.
If you look very closely on the side of the Crank where it comes out of the rear crankseal can you see a hairline? As thas all you will see.
