Crankshaft for manual or auto transmission

[paulb]

I heard that the crankshafts are different between manual and automatic transmissions in certain year engines. Looking at the crankshaft how can you tell the difference? This particular engine is a late 05, with an ESN of 57435765. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

I have no idea why the crank would be different. The adapter plate from the rear of the motor to the transmission would be different though.

I have switched engines from auto to manual and vise verse, only difference is the ecm, engine wire harness and some coolant plumbing.

Thanks for the info guys. I can't for the life of me see any differences, so I'm going to try and use it. Off to the machine shop it goes to be polished and balanced.
