Switch from auto trans to manual?
Switch from auto trans to manual?
First off I wasn't sure where to post this question but here seems like the best place, anyways I drive a 2004 infiniti g35 sedan with an auto trans. At first the auto was convenient, but now I wish I could get the full effect of driving a manual, my question is how difficult would a trans conversion be? How long would it take? And how much?
Here's some info I PM'd to another member here last month..
I'll give you a off-the-top-of-my-head parts list..
6MT Transmission
Clutch
Flywheel
Clutch line
OEM clutch hardline
OEM clutch fluid reservoir
6MT driveshaft (has to be from a G35, 350Z will not work)
6MT shifter
Throwout bearing
6MT wiring harness (my mechanic made my auto wiring harness work, so it will take some work if you or your mechanic knows what they are doing)
Clutch pedal assembly
Brake pedal assembly
Center console
Shifter trim
Center console sides (the sides of the radio)
A custom bracket was made to hold my clutch pedal more secure
A bolt we had to order from Nissan was used on the clutch pedal, I can't remember what it was called
Shift ****
Shift boot
You will need to cut a hole on the chassis where the shift enters the interior
Custom plate for this hole to block exhaust smell and water, etc.
You can keep your stock ECU, but you will have a code for the transmission. I will be blocking this code with UpRev hopefully, once I get my car back.
There will be some smaller items you will probably need, but this is basically it. I strongly urge you to contact my shop that did it if you are serious about getting it done. The parts will be $1500-2000 depending on if you can find used parts. I would go to www.slidegood.com to buy a lot of used parts, I got my driveshaft and other parts from there.
