I was talking to this guy at Project Import in Pomona, CA and i asked him about a conversion to a manual. He told me that he can bascailly do all this for about 2 thousnad whcih includes the tranny, drive train, pedals, reprogram my ecu, and some other stuff needed for the conversion. What do you'll think? Is it worth it? I also heard that these conversions have alot of problems? Has anyone had this done to their maxie?

 

It has been done. See http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....threadid=53750

$2K is a good price if it includes everything (parts and labor).

 

He told me that he will only be including 300 for labor... and that is already included in the price...

 

The average shops are charging about $75 per hour. If this price is at all right, you'd either be getting a great price or this guy only thinks it'll take 4 hours to do and you probably shouldn't go with him.

 

Yeah, four hours seems a little quick for an entire tranny switch...

 

is he giving you a new tranny?! cause 300 for labor means 1700 in parts, wayy too much money....i can understand if it was like 700 to 1000 in labor but dam, that's a lot of dough

 

Wow ... you're really itching for a conversion, huh?

You've been digging up all the old auto->manual conversion threads.

 

He and I both

 

clee, i'm dieing for it...my d*ck gets hard everytime i see a thread with the word *chirping* or "SLAMMED MY car into 3rd and bounced"....things like that, man, argh!!! ahhhh!!! i'm going crazy, i just want to slam my car into 2nd and VROOM VROOM VROOOOM....if only i put this much work into my schooling...dam i could be a doctor .....best part about it is that i'm getting a couple parts new at better prices than most people in the past probably got theirs (aCT clutch, master/slave cylinder, etc.) I hope everything works out for me....I just can't wait till MAY!!! Once i get my stick, there are going to be a million and one threads about how i smoked this guy and how i stalled and stuff....man, just can't wait.....

 

the master and slave combo cant be more than 100 bux right? I saw one for 40+ and another 20+

 

Hey you should put together like a FAQ or something for doing this, like where the cheapest place to get the parts, cheapest place for labor.. This would be a huge resource to us, a lot of ppl want to do this but just don't know where to start.

the cheapest i've seen was master (retail 90 i get for 77) and slave (55 i get for 40)...where u get those prices at and were they new?

 

HA HA HA! You have no idea how true that is for me. I've heard that from my parents a thousand times. HA HA I cracked up when I read that.
