A torque converter.
And usually a clutch as well, for better fuel efficiency.
A clutch.
Yes, but you have to remove the automatic transmission housing, and you have to replace the Torque Converter with a standard transmission clutch that matches the type of transmission with which you are mating the engine.
of course you can!
No, as long as the engine is not running hot it will not bother the transmission.
A car with an automatic transmission.
yes you can all you need to do is switch the automatic flywheel and putt on a standard flywheel and make sure the clutch from the transmission will bolt up to the flywheel.
Most likley, what is the make of car and year engine size?
Yes you use engine oil in all cars regardless of transmission.
yes it will i just had an automatic engine installed in my manuel car. and used the old harness
Yes. Will it be cheap? Probably not, unless your car is really old. Transmission and engine work are probably the most expensive modifications you can make to a car.
[quote]Generally no. The connection to the transmission is quite different, better to change both the engine and the transmission.[/quote] actually you can...if they are the same engine just one was from the automatic version of the car and yours is the manual or vice versa you can do it, the engines are the same, it is the transmission that is different. but if the engine is from a different year/model you might want to check if the transmission and engine will line up properly, or you will do alot of work for nothing
On a 2001 Lincoln Town Car : The automatic transmission fluid level dipstick is in the engine compartment , near the firewall , towards the passenger side of the vehicle, where the transmission is bolted to the rear of the engine
