Do you need to swap the counterweight/pulley when moving from auto to manual?

in most engines the front balancer and counterweight are setup for the flywheel/tq converter- which do not weigh the same...

I didn't change mine and it seems to work fine. check out courtesy nissan and see if they are different part numbers to make sure.

Not a bad idea.

the Mrs. bought an S14 that was swapped and i'm double checking everything is as it should be, because i'm anal like that lol

I usually work on FC's and they have a different counterweight for auto/manual- which is why i wondered about this.
