[RonBurgundy]

do you mean auto to manual 5 speed swap?

[diflictedminds]

should be direct swap! youll want to replace tranny mount though! and youll need pedal and new center console.

ive never tried to convert Manuel. . . actually, i dont even know of anyone named Manuel.

you must mean manual.

you need. . . . . . . .
manual tranny
clutch line
clutch reservoir
master cylinder
slave cylinder
pedal assembly
tranny mounts
clutch
flywheel
elbow grease.

anybody correct me if i left anything out.

[OUfb2005]

yea i ment auto to 5 speed

and im having a shop do it but its a nissan shop and the guy was going to do some reasearch on it cause he thinks that hes going to need to swap out the axes and ecu

i didnt think he needed to but i wasnt for sure

[therieldeal]

the model car you have, and the model that the donor trans comes from, are important. it dictates whether or not you need different axles.

You want to use the axels and half shaft that belong with the G series tranny.

[OUfb2005]

what about with the F series?

[southerncross]

f-series tranny = use f series axles

g-series tranny = use g series axles

i know this the hard way. . . the part counter retards at advance auto like to give out the wrong one for your car. . . "but thats the part number it lists. . ."

[OUfb2005]

so the auto tranny axels wont work?
im going to use a f series tranny to swap
are the f series trannys good?
will it fit my 94 lx?

[OUfb2005]

will the f series tranny hold up if i run a VJ20 turbo?

or should i find a g series?

[MD323]

the G is the stronger of the 2, but it depends on your driving habits.

[OUfb2005]

yea will the f series handle a VJ2o turbo?

I dont know, I know its held up to my BP, but im not turbo and I dont drive it like a complete ass.

Some of the Aus kids are getting away with a turbo and an F-series, but I cant say one way or another because I do not plan on keeping my F-tranny long enough to find out. I am upgrading to a Kia tranny with the MSP LSD hence why I am selling the clutch setup.
