Ok, I know some of you automatic guys have also thought this, but I am considering switching my wife's 03' auto into a 6 speed. Have any of you guys done this? If so, are you happy you did it? We love this car and we're kind of stuck with it for a while also, but we hate the auto, well my wife hates it, so this is now a consideration since we can't trade it. Also, can any of you guys provide a comprehensive list of all the parts needed to do this successfully? I don't mind using used parts if I have to, but I want to do it right the first time, so I need all the parts. Any help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jimmy

 

there are LOTS of parts and LOTS of work involved!!!!!

 

even with the maxima's poor resale, it will cost less to trade your ride in on a 6-speed than it will to do a 6-speed conversion........this conversion takes all kinds of things from electrical to motor mounts (autos have electronics mounts, sticks do not..)

gonna be tough to find any "used" parts for a relatively new car, especially since most of them are automatics.

 

6 Speed tranny, clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, shifter assembly, clutch pedal, clutch switch, clutch master, clutch slave, hydraulic lines, master resovoir, blood, sweat, beers.

Or you leave your car with me one weekend and I will do the job for you.

 

you forgot the smaller brake pedal

 

That's included in the pedal box, which i didn't call it.

 

man i really want to do that. since i am keeping her for life. i know DIXIT did the conversion...i don't think i could do it myself...

 

SR20DEN, what would it cost me, parts and labor? I am in King, NC so I'm not that far from you. Do you work for a Nissan dealership?
