Hi gents looking to covert the 850r from an auto to a manual i have got a complete t5 to take all the bits from just a few things i need to clear up before i start the job frist thing,was thinking about complete engine and box change as the t5 has 60.000 less miles on the clock than mine would love to know what difference is there between the to 2 engines also do they have the same turbos, the other thing is the clutch hydraulics the t5 master cylinder is different to the one on my r do i need to swap the master cylinders and servo over as more pipes on the t5 than my r any help would be great might be many more questions to pmsl

thanks for the link james have read this a few times but cant find where its says to get the hydraulic fluid from for the clutch master cylinder dose it come from the brake fuild bottle

Yes mate the clutch is bled from the brake res, you need the pipe from the bottom of the res that goes to clutch master cyl on gearbox
