How easy is it to convert and automatic 96 240sx se to manual. I know it is possible but will it be just like a stock standard 240 or will there be some differences. Has anyone on here done it? Thanks guys.

It’s not that easy but you can do it in an afternoon if you have all the right parts, there will be some differences between a factory 5 speed 240 and a auto to manual swapped one, and some people on here have done it.

Thanks.
