Not for DSMs.

The only difference is you will have to install a pilot bushing for a manual. For autos, once the crank rebuild is done, you can put it away and work on the rest of the engine.

so i can still use the crank because i bought a 6-bolt turbo and ran the vin and it said it was for a auto. Thanks.

DSM's do not have pilot bushings.

As stated, the cranks are the same for auto and manual. There may be a flex plate spacer in the auto crank that you will need to remove before its going to let you bolt a flywheel up.

My bad. It was completely opposite. Auto crankshafts need a crankshaft bushing.
