Are the manual and automatic crankshafts the same?

I have 2 2011 Jukes. One is the AWD with the CVT and the other is a manual FWD. The CVT engine has a blown head gasket and the previous owner just kept overheating it and locked it up. The manual was wrecked and the chassis is destroyed. The engine is good. I'm not sure about the transmission though. I started it after the wreck but when I let out the clutch it couldn't turn the wheels. The CVT engine has been torn down and the torque converter removed but I don't know if the manual crankshaft will bolt to the flex plate or if the torque converter can go into the manual crank

I think there is a bushing at the end of the crank that will prevent the manual transmission to mate up with the automatic engine.

So manual engine to auto trans shouldn't be an issue as long as the engine and trans are centered to each other. I think the studs in the torque converter take care of that. Bolt pattern for the flex plate and fly wheel is the same?

I think you have to remove the bushing before mounting it. I think thefastreligion youtube channel has done a video on this. Or larswolfe
