Just a quick question. Is it possible to use the auto sandwich plate in a manual or do they hit the flywheel, clutch etc? I know the auto ones are 2 piece and the manuals are 1 piece but cant see why it wouldnt work.

All the bellhousing holes line up perfectly on the na manual box. Im more worried about the clutch or flywheel hitting it

It's fine. I've used them in many manual conversions with no problems whatsoever

There exactly the same just in two halfs so can put the convertor bolts in , it will definately fit as i have one between the r33 5 speed and the rb30 in my car, it all lines up and nothing hits anything ...

All good, I used a mf5 so it bolted up no worries.
