Quick question for those who have done a manual conversion. Is the EF manual and auto transmission rubber mount at the back of the gearbox the same or different? I did not get one with my conversion.

You can use the auto rear rubber mount and the crossmember.

Did you get the rear damper and the engine pipe rear mounting hanger with the manual box ?? - If you have to use the auto ones you'll need some mods.

I have the manual vibration damper but not the hanger, I can live with that. The engine mount has me puzzled though, a quick measurement indicates the mounting holes on the manual box as 615 mm from the bellhousing face but the auto is around 640, does the mount turn around or have I made a mistake in measuring it?

You'll find when you drop the crossmember, there's 2 sets of mounting holes. The crossmember will match the manual box if you use the front ones.

New question,
I appear to be missing something where the clutch fork exits the bellhousing. Is there a rubber seal or something normally there or is it open?

There's a plastic compartment and a lid that clips in. It acts as a dustcover for the throwout fork/ clutch cable and the bellhousing internals.
