crank question

[glorkar]

When I got my turbo engine for my swap, I was initially going to keep the auto tranny that I had. The motor was from a manual so I had to remove the pilot bearing. Prob was that I didn't have a puller so I used a die grinder. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. I did end up taking off a little of the crank.
Now my friend has an '89 N/A that he's getting rid of and it has a T-5. So my question is, would his crank work in my motor? Should I get the old one repaired? Or should I find a different turbo crank?

hmmm...the cranks are the same ...5 speed and auto alike. i believe the differnces lie from the flywheel back. I've used a die grinder to remove a pilot bearing, they are press fit so unless you really did a number , the new one should still fit snug.

I honestly don't remember how bad I chewed it up. I suppose that once I get it out of the car, I could try just fitting a new bearing in. If it works, it works, right?

They are the same crank. You can repair your crank with jb weld (apply it, let it dry, machine it down).

That's what I like to hear, a cheap and easy fix for what ailes me
