I just bought a 90 maxima with a bad tranny (had to tow it home cause it doesnt move). Tonight I am going to start swapping the auto for a manual. Unfortunately I am not able to search on this site for some reason and I was kinda wondering how many other people have done this and what problems they ran into. Anyways, if anyone could let me know that would be very helpful. Also, should I just pull the engine or put it on a lift and try going at it from below? I am used to working on rear wheel drive 350 V8's so this is kinda a new experience for me.

 

And it will be quite a different one believe me.
at least you have something in common with the SBC on yours (distributor)
I got nothing (just about)

 

ive done it, it wasnt to bad, hardest part was drilling the holes for the clutch pedal/mastercylinder
bisides that everything else just bolts on

 

and you definitly dont have to pull the motor

 

Everything just bolts on...........

Makes it sound so simple. Who would be dumb enough to swap anything into a slow VG? Morons, all of you!

 

............

 

VE is slow too when compared to all of todays modern cars which come stock at like 260 HP!

 

...I like my VG..runs smoother than most VEs...I like my "Keep honkin', I'm reloadin'" bumpersticker too..

 

GXE Power!!

 

my turbo bolted on (in a manner of speaking)

 

highly modded ve's arnt any slower than the new cars with 260hp trust me on this one

 

It's all about power to weight ratios

 

Hey, how far away form eagan are you? I wouldnt mind doing a swap on mine too

 

Eagan? I got a warehouse up there!
