GLEtotehMAX

Im starting to get pretty tired of driving my auto Max. So im trying to decide whether to save up and get a N/A 300ZX that has a manual or just to do a swap on my car now. Id really like to do both, but of coarse, i am not made of money. I do love the power of the Max so im thinking that ill go with the tranny swap, but i was just wondering how the availability of parts is. If i go through with this, i will probably use some aftermarket parts such as lightnened flywheel, performance clutch, and a STS. I was just wondering about how easy it is to get these parts, the overall cost, and the ease of installation.

all the parts are avaliable though the dealer of course but best bet is to call junkyards and look for a totalled 4th gen 5speed and part it out from there.

just so you know, the clutch lines are dirt cheap from the dealer. one of mine went bad and when i decided to replace it, i found out that all of them were about 50 bucks, so i replaced them all. its alot of work, and if you have abs, youll have to remove it during installation, so that means bleeding all 4 brakes.

from a junkyard all the bits you would need would total under a grand with some barganing.

My grand total for the swap is around $1200.. Thats including brand new clutch kit, and new axles.

try looking for a I30 tranny or a canadian SE tranny, they are both LSD. Im not sure if USDM have a LSD in them
