hey im new to this 240 car forum. earlier i posted that i purchased a 98 nissan 240sxse and i have a problem. when i bought the car it came with an automatic tranny and i wanna switch it over only because i prefer manual in a sporty car.
since i new to modding cars id rather watch and learn or get a mechanic to drop it in for me but here are a few of my concerns.
how relyable is this new manual tranny in an automatic car going to be?
Lets see… well, since you want to stay slow, you will want to find a manual tranny…
The tranny is going to be as reliable as any other car.
How ever much you pay for them, depending if you find a junk yard car, or if you buy oem items from your local nissan dealership. (which i highly recommend for some parts)
You are going to need (i am probably forgetting some stuff):
Clutch Pedal
Master Cylinder
Slave sylinder
Tranny
Manual Driveshaft

oh you’re not doing it yourself??? forget it, i don’t want to talk to you anymore…
the brake pedal can be easily cut and will work just as well as the manual pedal. u don’t REALLY need the brake pedal, though the manual one will bring it closer to the accelerator.
id LOVE to do it myself !! let me at it!!! oh wait where do i start, i happen to forgot that i know nothing about anything!
getting a job done right is great but getting a job done wrong and not having a car for a very long time because somthing was installed wrong is an issue i just want everything to be perfect. dont get me wrong i seariously would like to have a hand full of guys come work on my car if they knew exactly what they were doing, i would supply anything and everything, although my biggest concern/worry is the thought of my car getting screwed
Nobody is going to screw your car up. SHIFT_SR20DET and Sasha did this
conversion on boMex’s car and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the
swap. It isn’t hard at all, and if it works fine on boMex’s car it would work
fine on yours.
your right… i might go along with just swapping it myself or with a few friends during the summer but id have to get some sort of experience for doing it. if anyone is doing a engine swap of anysort give me a call ill lend a hand. thanks :!:
where would i buy a the middle console for inside the car to replace my existing automatic console?? im referring to the shifter because i notice for automatic its really far away.
Some people say teh tranny swap will run from 600-1000 max.
No one really has comparable data between the sr and tranny swap since it’s like comparing apples and oranges. They’re both fruits but completely different.
