Hey Guys,

Long time no post. :D .. Well some might remember the silver TP Elante of mine. When we got it it had been in an accident and need some work. In the end it was fixed but still the chassis is not 100%.

But the other day i scored for FREE TN Eliet. With AC, PS, PW, PM, digi Dash etc but the engine is fingered. timing chain broke and cracked the timing chain cover. And also its an AUTO..

Wot i want to do is put my TP Elante Motor and Manual GB into the TN. there both EFI models the only diff is TN is auto. Is it possible to swap the motor and GB or would it be easier to leave the auto in and just put my motor in it.

I am gonna put the Elante Flair Kit on the TN as well. i have all the parts i need to do it as both cars are here. Just need to know if it can be done Auto - man conversion and how u do it.

Thanks in advanced.
PS I will do pics as i do it and post em here

Yes, it can be done, try searching within the forum. May I suggest here? (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11238)

With regards to the Elite's instrument panel, it does work with a manual, but watch out with the wiring loom.
