Has anyone written a diy for swapping a 5at to a 6mt? I have a 2003 sedan, and my auto tranny just went out completely. I figure if I need to fix it, I might as well make it how I want it.. I've found lists but no other information as to how to actually do it.

Thanks.

 

You make it sound like it's as easy as changing your oil.

 

I've got a car lift inside a shop full of tools and a decent amount of experience. With a decent amount of guidance, I can figure it out.

 

Well in that case, this might help you out:

6MT Conversion

 

Few projects you can follow of people doing it, but really unless you are heavily modded already it can be cheaper and a bajillion times easier to just sell your car and rebuy a 6mt.

 

That would work if it didn't have a blown tranny..

 

So, I've seen some debate as to the parts list. I see that I can either reflash the ecu or take one designed for a manual. For my 03 sedan, what can I take the ecu from? (350z, coupe?) I could replace my auto for 1K, I'm hoping that I could do the conversion for not leaps and bounds more, buying the parts used and doing it myself.

 

.....that shyt just happened to me less than an hour ago for 4 years no one was allowed to drive my can finally I let a bumb b!tch "hot as heck tho" take it around the lot and she threw it in park while moving!!!!! Now my transmission drags! WTF I was thinking the same conversion but I'll follow this thraleD and the other hopefully I can find a way to do this all under 1k
