If the auto box is the same as the Figaro one, it's horrendous. I manual swapped my Figaro using K10 micra parts, I would suggest the same for a Pao.

I've just finished my manual conversion... it's exactly as @103keef explained, although the standard K10 160mm clutch slips so best to use a hybrid clutch explained here: https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/the-hybrid-clutch-thread.71513/

You guys are correct... I'm an absolute lemon and hadnt wound 1 & 2 out. Maybe I have sunstroke. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, I'm attempting to set my tappets... I have found that one and two valve springs remain against the rockers and so no adjustment is possible. Maybe I have weakened valve springs, maybe the wrong springs, maybe something else? I made a quick video to explain... Any suggestions welcome...

Hi all, I have completed the manual conversion on my Figaro using the hybrid clutch. Big thanks to @frank !! I did do exactly as @pork had done: made the hybrid clutch, grinding on the plate, grinding on the cover, ut the car together... only to find that the clutch wouldnt disengage from...

I found some pics on an old thread by @pork : https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/porks-bike-carbs-and-boost-project.52721/page-40 They show the amount of grinding needed both on the friction plate and the cover:

That makes sense. Thanks.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Hi all... I'm back to working on the Figaro stuff! @frank , are these the areas on the 160mm cover that you trimmed to allow it to fit over the 180mm clutch?

Initial work done. It will get straightened and painted soon-ish.

Fig tax is a real thing. ... but I'm not sure if the gaskets are the same or not. Can you get part numbers for those two?

Update...

I'm preparing a manual swap on my Fig so have a K10 box handy. Happy to help.

Very cool project. I am considering a full Nissan Leaf system for my Fig. What motor are you running? If you just want a manual box, it would be easy to source here in the UK... the usual challenges involved in a regular manual swap in a Fig (hybrid clutches, etc) wouldn't apply for you.
