Searched for a post that is close, but nothing came up. Need quick information so i can get things rolling again.

I drive a 2003 G35 5AT sedan. Transmission just went on it. Wondering if a
6MT is a lot of extra cash to install. Cause i hate the tip/auto setup, and i have a cheap 6mt transmission lined up if its reasonable in price and time to do it. Has anyone attempted this? What extras would i need to buy?

Thanks
K.

 

it's been done, it's expensive and it's not worth it.

 

yeah you'd be better off selling yours and getting a 6mt.

 

You're looking at 10k. I looked at the same option, NOT WORTH IT!

 

not easy to do. Costly. But it has been done before. Check GTM

 

Thanks for the input. SO if some one could save me the time and tell me what transmission i need in order to get my car back on the road. My car is an 03 G35 like i said before with the date being 09/02 Any comments would be great. Cheers

 

What happened to the tranny?

 

Might as well just part out and trade your car for a 6MT. Like everyone else has said, the time & money put into this would not be worth it.

trade it in for a 6MT, and it will be a lot cheaper.

 

10K? LOL

6mt tranny in good condition - around $1100
u would need a 6mt ecu
add a clutch pedal and the shifter should line up perfect, then u would need interior peices like shift **** . etc. shouldnt cost more than 5k tops

 

with labor??? Nahhhh

 

Thats exactly what I thought when I was considering it. Also is what Relentless thought, until we checked everything out. It's expensive.

 

A number of shops can perform this swap. It is indeed expensive as everyone has said. OP do some searching. The last swap I remember seeing on the forum was said to have been $6,000, I think either done by PF or Functioned Tuned, but I really don't remember clearly.

Here's a link for your for the necessary parts:
