Prices vary... Read the stickys both here and in the All Motor forum, there's lots of helpful/credited information in there.

How is your total price under $1000?

Tranny $700 (Car-Part)
Clutch Kit $182 (Pinnacle)
Front Engine Mount $88.64 (ThePartsBin)
Control Rod $72 (Pinnacle)

Don't make me go one because it is a page long. How did you get out under a grand? I must be doing something wrong.

Ah crap forgot to ask this in the last post

If I wanted to find a support rod, control rod, and Front engine mount; what would I search in car-part?

Brake Pedal Assembly - 46501-40U05 - 55.64
Can't I just rip the pedal off of car in a junk yard and save 50 bucks?

You cant look for those parts on the junkyards, I bought everything brand new from Nissan because I didnt want to go on that trouble...

I suggest, you find a local junkyard, that might have a 5spd and call them up.. For example, look for local transmissions, usally if they have the 5spd tranny they will the car as well... USALLY.

BTW: Why are you looking for a front mount? The tranny mount is the one you need.

"Front Engine Mount - 1127040U03 - 68.16"
-5 Speed Part List Sticky in All-Motor.

I am not trying to insult your intelligence, but I got my knowledge from the sticky. Please by all means correct me because I am sure a tranny mount is cheaper anyway. Help out a noob and provide the part number please please. Thanks

Tranny Mount - 1122040U12 - 60.28

-^ It's in the sticky as well...

The front mount is optional, that will not stop you from mounting the transmission.

Hey I found the tranny mount before you responded, but I definately appreciate you answer the questions and not flaming.

"Front Mount is Optional ..."

Does this mean that it will make the install easier and everything fits happy or does that mean that it is a waste of money.

I am liking the waste of money

lol @ Nmex....

You dont need the front mount, I recommend changing both front and rear in the future because the auto ones are crap, and there probably shot in your 95..

So you will get alot of wheel hop in the 5spd, just take it easy on the dig launches with the auto mounts....

BUT, you only need the tranny mount to do it, you wont have to touch the front mount at all.
