I also recommend just selling your 5AT and buying a 6MT G35 if you really want one. You would be spending a decent amount of money to do the full swap (tranny, driveshaft, diff, ECU, interior parts, clutch and MC etc.) and end up with something that is running a big risk of being not as reliable as a factory 6MT due to the install risks and not knowing the history of the parts. After all that work and money is spent and done, you still only have a car that is stock-performing and the resale value of it is lower than a factory one to a potential future buyer.

Just sell your 5AT and buy a factory 6MT, then sink the extra money into performance mods on your new 6MT G or buy a 6MT G that is that much newer and lower miles than your current one with the extra money.

Yeah man, its gonna cost you more than you wish you had if you do. Just sell ur AT and buy an MT. At least that way you know it came that way from the manufacturer.
