Manual Tranny Parts
Hey guys, in a few months I would like to do a 5 speed conversion. I had a few questions though.
1. Should I buy used parts online, or should I try to find them in my area? Are shipping costs a lot?
2. Where can I find these parts online?
3. After the automatic tranny is out, can I sell that for any money?
4. If I can sell the tranny, how do I ship this? It is huge and heavy.
5. How much money in total will this conversion cost (including labor?
Thanks!
Shawn

The auto is worth $400 about and can be shipped via UPS...
I would by all parts used and from the same person.
I do them here in FL for $1250 and supply the parts... Parts alone are $1500 - $700 depends on where u live and who you know.

i am also doing a conversion, but i am having trouble finding all the parts, i have been trying really hard to find a wrecked maxima 5speed with a good trans, but that is pretty hard. i am afraid after finding all the parts and labor this is going to be an $1800 ordeal.when i find the parts should i take it to a regular shop or what?? this is proving to be harder than i expected

DTRMaxima, where are you from in IL? I am from Bloomington. I am pretty sure there would be places in Chicago that would do this for a reasonable price. Let me know if you find a place
CBR2: are these parts for the conversion used parts? Do you think you could sell me the parts in a few months, then I just find someone here to do the install?
Does anyone else do manual tranny conversions like CBR, preferrably a little closer than FL? I would be willing to drive if the price is right.

i'm about to do this conversion very soon as well. Are any of you considering a rebuilt 5-speed instead?? Where can i find a rebuilt tranny for a decent price?? I dont want to put all this work into my car and find out that it need a rebuilt in a couple of months. Also, I go on long roadtrips to Lake Tahoe quite a bit so I need reliability as well. I've noticed the manual tranny rebuilt write up on motervate.com but it seems pretty complicated. I'm pretty mechanically incline, however i've never dropped a tranny before, let alone a rebuild. Should I just look for a low mileage 5-speed or should I look into buying a rebuilt one? OR maybe I should try rebuilding a used tranny. What would i do if the tranny needs hardparts??
