Got a great deal on a KA24DE pulled from a 1997 m/t. Going in my 1996 a/t.

- Does just the pilot BUSHING need to be replaced? I hear mixed things regarding a bushing and bearing
- The TPS is also different I believe, just swap throttle bodies and should be good to go, right?

Am I missing anything else?

I don't know where you're getting this information from, but I'm 99% sure you don't need to replace the throttle body. Buy a new pilot bearing for your A/T though, I wouldn't reuse it, but that's just me. They're probably only like 10 bucks.

I know there's a difference in the bushing between the two cars, but is there a difference in the bearing as well?

The clutch pilot bushing is what you are thinking of. The A/T has a pilot bearing, which is different from the 5MT. Replace it and call it a day.
