i recently purchased a 1999 maxima se-l but it has an automagic tranny...i know its dissapointing but i fell in love with the car because its fully loaded and just a really nice car...anyways i am looking into doing a 5 speed conversion, and ive read about it in the past and i have heard of people doing it....has anyone done this? what are the affects of it, does it affect the motor in any way etc? also problems i might run into after the conversion. any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THE FREAKING SEARCH ENGINE, IT WORKS!!

NO effect on the engine. The tranny won't care. The ECU doesn't care. Any problems? The usual manny tranny problems.

 

greg i tryed the search engine and its not working...not my fault the piece of &*% computers or god knows what isp we have here at school....and thanks for the info

do you know what the cost is for all of this done at lets say a tranny shop? i mean if they find a tranny from a donor car somewhere....im thinkin like 3 grand?

 

nevermind...thanks for the info greg, if all works out next spring i wont have people whining about me getting an auto...also i will have pics of my new baby up pretty soon

 

I hope you realize the conversion requires many more parts than only the transmission. Go to http://www.stormpages.com/autoto5spd/ to see the parts list.
