i have a 2003 gle, and i was just wonderin if any of you guys out there know anyone or have any advice for a 6speed conversion...i checked ebay and i couldnt find any...so i was wonderin whether if i should get it from nissan...does anyone know how much it would cost? any additional info would be helpful thanks

 

i would love a 6 speed comversion as well but as i hear it will cost like $6000 between transmisison ECU and clutch assembly....etc

plus u wont have warranty anymore

You're probably better off selling yours and buying a 6 speed. At least look into it and see how much of a difference in price there will be between the two.

 

not even close. I know a guy at my local yard...1500 for ALL parts needed. he said you might need to change the front left axel as well. He would swap for me for free... I would do it...but gotta take care of some debt

 

really how so ......i thought tranny alone would cost alot more
cuz bro for 1500 id convert in a hearbeat please giv eme more info either here or on aim at cubanato69

Killer2002SE- He would do the swap for you for free, but how much would it cost if somebody actually had to pay?

 

i would say about 1000 for labor on a 6spd swap. depends how well u know ur mechanic

 

theres no way in hell that i would sell my car...that would be way too much of a hassle...and im not worried about warranty...mine is almost up...but who would u buy the 6speed tranny from especially if it is gonna b 1500 for parts...that would be incredible...would u buy it from nissan? cause i tried ebay and cant find ****

 

search your lockal junk yards for wrecked maximas with 6speed.

 

yea i was thinkin about doin that...but there arent that many around me that i know of....i need to start lookin...but if i can get a brand new one from nissan thats in the 1000 range i would jump on it...im gonna call up the local nissan dealership later on...just to find out and to see if i would need to make adjustments to the axel

 

LOL, you wont even get a shift **** from a 6speed for that kind of money from a dealer. They charge $400 for a MAF, imagine how much the will charge for all the parts you need for a conversion.

 

Here in Tuscaloosa, AL the last time I checked they had a few 6 speeds available. If I'm not mistaken they were all new and between $2000 and $2500. Pretty sure there was 2 new and 1 used.

 

i called a nissan dealership near me today....all parts for a 6speed would be 2100...but he didnt know if i would need to do anything to the axel...just thought id share

 

You can get a good idea of the price of a 6-speed transmission and ECU, plus any other used parts you may need by searching here: http://www.car-part.com

 

Try contacting Jeff of MaximumTuning.net

I know he has done some conversions from auto to manual. He did danny's (PCguru2k). I was at his shop yesterday having some work done and he mentioned that he recently did the 6speed conversion on his '97; though he was a manual to begin with. Give him a call, I am sure he can also help with locating the parts needed. Tell him Angelo sent you.......
