I had an idea to buy a 2.4 auto v 50 or s40 and swap over the engine and box, this will probably cost less then repairing my current transmission as I reckon ill buy a complete 2.4 litre car here for less than €1000 .
Now my question is does anyone know if the engine bay wiring loom from the 2.4 will plug into my existing car and what components will I need to swap to allow the new engine trans and ecu to function.
Thanks
It wont work , the engine ecu and immobiliser system for one and the front brakes and suspension are different to cope with the power and weight .
best to find a powershift gearbox from a crashed car .
