the swap sucks. its fairly simple, but it sucks, its always better to have a manual from the get-go

I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be too hard. (correct me if I'm wrong)
but you're probably gonna need a parts car, for all the necessary parts. So basically you're gonna have to shell out some money to convert the car. The only thing you shouldn't have to buy seperately is the tranny which should come with the engine, the SR that is...

also, read the FAQ on the home page of he 240sx forum here. It has a lot of information and it helped me a lot.

check this site for more information, this guy did it... http://240sx.org/links/installs/s14_5speed_swap.htm

sorry i got so caught up reading all the diffrent links...thanks, but i was just wondering if it would be simple to just find a used manual transmission and swap it onto the auto 240sx....eventually do a DETswap but i was just conserned about having the shifting right away. thanks again though

from what ive heard, its pricey, time consuming and almost not worth it, unless you REALLY want a stick i would just suggest a new ecu that will make it shift better and all that good stuff (thats my plan) and look at trading your auto car for a manual one, it will be easier (thats my plan b), if you still want to swap trannies, good luck.

[lucki17]

by the way, if you do swap it out you could sell the auto trannie to me, i think i may have broke mine *oops*
