any1 gone from auto to 6 speed on 3.5?

just wondering

 

I think at least one A33B has been converted but it was done by a salvage yard. There is little need to do this conversion from a performance standpoint.

 

yes maxs has did it. you looking fo someone to do it, contact me.

 

im looking to do it, not performance wise.....but fun wise....its 1 of those kicks and giggles feeling u get driving stick.

 

Have fun...but you are better off just selling yours and buying one.

 

doing the swap would be better then selling......selling would me ill have 2 take everything off....

here in miami panda_01 has done some swap w/ some miami .org ppl.....it will be the first 3.5 6 swap for sure but they've done 3.0 5 speed swap.....it would be interesting

 

wouldnt you have to swap to a manual ECU also? plus cut holes in the floor?

 

the holes are already there and yes a manual ecu

 

sounds expensive

 

To much work jus sell your car and buy a 6spd

 

So much False Information in this Thread, I got a 2002 SE Auto with 95k currently and Tilley will be doing my 6 speed coversion in the summer, the tranny bolts right up, It will require a MT ECU, The swap is not difficult, Tilleys99 can perform this in 2 days.

Main parts list:

Trans. Shifter cables. Shifter box. Axles. Gas and brakes pedals. Flywheel. Clutch. Trans mount. Slave cylindr and clutch
Master cylinder

With labor being 500-600 the Swap should be around 2k maybe less , depending on the cost of Parts

 

wow this sounds good, if i had enough money id be doin it right now. i think thats worth the .6-.9s gain in the quarter.

 

you probably want new gauges too that dont have the "P R D 2 1" on them

 

The front springs are also different if you have stock springs. Don't know why nissan did this but there are 2 different part numbers for front springs for autos and manuals. The autos have stiffer front springs then the manuals. When I went from my auto to my 6peed I noticed it right away. the auto rode stiffer

 

its not difficult guys. all you need is the parts and the swap can be done. its somewhat like doing a 5spd swap on a 4th gen.

 

the engine is mounted different to. It wont bolt right up

 

dude stop spreading false info please. the position of the engine is the same.

 

Where did you hear its the same? Its not, you can visually see it mounted different.

 

dude just think about it. it is not possible for the engine to be mounted in any different way. and yes the case of the auto and the manual trans are different but that doesnt mean you cant do a swap. i am guessing you still a new but with a bunch of posts and dont know much about the car you drive.

Go read about it

kthnxbye

 

ok and what does that tell me? what mounting brackets on the motor? the only difference is the mount on the tranny. the motor doesnt have anything to do with the trans. the trans jsut bolts to the block and on the other side to the mount. there is nothing else. man i dotn even know why i am having a argument with a newbie that has no clue what he is talking about. dude go to the all motor forum and learn.

 

^^ I know the motor mounts are different. Autos have electronic motor mounts while the 6speeds don't. Personally I don't believe its worth it. The cost would be bananas unless you have plenty of money to **** away just to have a 6speed.................NOT WORTH IT AT ALL........I had a auto and after awhile I wished I would have gotten the 6 speed, but my auto got totalled so I got a second chance not to make the same mistake so I picked up my 6 speed...................

 

i have an auto and my gauges dont say PRD21 on them, the shifter base does, but if youre gonna have a manual you cant leave that there anyway, unles you plan to only use 3 and 4 gears...

 

90% of your posts suggest that you don't know you're talking about.

 

How much different is it? I don't have two cars to compare. My friend with the 6-speed lives 40 miles away. Is there a way to modify the mounts or mounting locations? The reason I ask is because I had to drill new holes for the transmission mount for my H22 5-speed conversion in my Accord to make the motor sit correctly.

 

Okay. I get it now. Just like the modification of a bottom f22 driver side bracket mated to a top h22 bracket/motor mount.

 

all that is needed to be modified is the mount whcih is bolted to the frame on the 6 speed maxima. the guy was just spreading false info on the motor sitting correctly so you can ignore that. its not a difficult swap to do if you have all the parts. the clutch pedal for example just is a direct bolt in and the brake pedal is replaced with a manual one. shfiter cables are run into the interior and the auto shifter assembly is replaced with a manual when which also uses the same holes. there is some electrical work but that is a breeze for me because i love messing around with wires nd electrical. like i said all the parts make everything go so much faster. for people that want to do this just look on car-part and your local junkyards for parts. if anybody needs to know what parts contact either me or tilley.

 

and 100% of your replies show that you need a swift . if you have an auto and you see P R D 2 1 somewhere on your gauges please take a picture of it. cause i dont have that anywhere in my gauge cluster. It is however on the shifter base (the plastic thing with a post sticking out, topped by a leather ****). Ie: Park Reverse Neutral Drive 2nd gear 1st gear.
im saying if you do a conversion you cant leave the auto shift patter in because otherwise you wont be able to shift...
and if he means the thing in the middle of the cluster, he wont notice because IT WONT LIGHT UP!!!

 

Dude ,you must have a Ghetto rigged Auto, All 5.5 Gen Autos have It, Also you can use a AT Gauge cluster on a MT just the P light will always be on!

 

Maybe 02's didn't have it
Who gives a flying as.s **** if it doesn't light up after the conv.
PRND321

 

However this guy is in sunny Florida and not horrible weather Pa like us. More cost added for travel/time....like I originally said...sell and buy. Believe me I've talked to tilley about it for mine and he's given the same advice.

 

I have it on my 02.

 

Hoooper =

 

so...back to the initial post...

 

i have it, i used to own a chevelle and i was thinkin about the fat thing on the bottom of the gauges and wasnt really thinkin bout my car...i no . Who looks in the middle anyway? the gauges that matter are on the sides of that. the point is, if you really want to pay money to turn out 1 light, you can instead donate it to me and ill put some black construction paper in that slit.

 

Newbie bish plz....don't even start with me.

Why would i need to read up on a 6spd swap when I have a 6spd?

 

B!tch a$$ *****....

 

It's not that difficult. I've looked into it. NmexMax: get a life, dude. What the hell is wrong with you anyway? You're always posting completly useless crap. I've seen exactly one post where you didn't have a smart-a$$, useless comment to give. Yah, sure, I may joke a little, but I'm not doing it to be hateful.

 

hey hey hey back to the manual tranny swap. i'm considering just doing a swap because i have yet to find a low mileage six-speed on the west coast. i want to trade my car in so i can't buy from a private seller and i prefer to buy a black charcoal silver or blue max with black interior and some options. i had an oppurtunity to buy an 02 at lithia nissan but they were asking 22k with 40k miles and they only wanted to give me 10.5k for my trade 02 auto 65k. so since i cant find one might as well keep mine and do a swap. used tranny's aren't cheap i found some with 30-40k and they were asking 12-18 hundred and i still need all the other parts. labor would be nothing for me and i have access to everything i need (lift, tools, etc.) and i have a wholesale liscence but its hard to find parts that are still in good condition
