Gearbox Dirt Guard / Sandwich Plate

[thenomisf]

Hi All,

I am converting my auto s12 to a manual, as anyone who has been in the Wanted section probably knows all to well.

I am aware there is a thin metal plate that goes between the gearbox and the engine to stop crud getting into the bellhousing. I also know you can run without it, but it screws up bearings/flywheels.

My question is, seeing as the bolt patterns are the same - would the "crud guard" plate from an S13 / CA18DET fit on a 12 / CA18ET ?

Thanks

im 99% sure it will as the bellhousing patterns the same and they look pretty mcuh identical.

Also does anyone know the dimensions / type / where to get a spigot bearing for the manual box/crank ?
