Goodsh1t, hustle. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. I have been piecing together all of my parts for my swap over the last 6 months, and it really is a pita to find everything without paying top dollar. I still have no idea where to get 6spd axles or the tranny mount...
I'm sure you have prob. read these already, but just in case you haven't:

Btw Ohhh Noesss, did harjit and TJ do your swap? I know they did a 6th gen 6spd swap not too long ago.... I've been talking to maximum tunning, but I would rather have someone who is more familiar with our cars...

You can always opt to get the fidanza flywheel instead of the dual-mas OEM unit which is like 30 pounds.
If I were you, I would look for as many parts possible from a manual car. There are more differences between the auto and manual 5.5 gen cars then on a 4th gen or a 5th gen.

i talked to dave b a while back and he seems to think the 350z clutch is the way to go. only problem he has heard off is a slight clearance issue...im talking like .0000001mm, but enough to where some one did the swap and on first start heard a loud bang and though they threw the tranny.
give him a call and ask him all the details. might be cheaper to go that route and he can tell you more detail about the clearance issue

but if a 6spd swap is a must, if this hasnt been mentioned look into SpecV trans. they are the exact same except the bell housings. u can buy a bellhousing brand new off of Courtesy for $230, and a SpecV tranny out of a wrecked car is like $300-400. and ALL specVs have HLSDs.
I will warn u thou swapping bellhousings isnt as easy as 1-2-3, u got be careful of those small little parts in the trans make sure they are all where they are suppose to be.
I was looking at doing a 6spd when my VLSD went the way of the dinosaurs.

There is no OD light in A33B's. Only a tranny check light, bottom right of the cluster.

just out of curiosity, how many people have done the 6spd swap successfully? and props to you hustle, i would never keep a car if i had to put more than 1 tranny in it, let alone the 8-10 you did!

Welp congrats on trying to convert to 6sp. But, I must requote you "reliablility who cares about that,lol). Next autos are not a fail if properly set up. Let me be the example 250k original trans. I have only a mild very mild vb mod from rob at nrh, next I have a cooler in which I told all yall to buy $40 at adavance. Let me point out that Dnene shift kit/vb mod is too harsh for the stock tranny #1 and she had no cooler. I dont know which one you have? Umair the one you raced has a vb w/ no cooler. the fenwicks blow trannys no cooler. but, I have seemed to keep my same auto all this miles.

I thought it was over 4 cars? Still , that's an average of 2.5 tranny's per car.

It may be possible to by-pass the TCM, but hopefully the AT ECU wont look for signals from the TCM. it be interesting ti know this for sure.
Since if I ever go this route, I wont have to pony up for a TS-F-Spec in 6MT trim. I just have a hard time seeing with all of the APPS/TPS stuff that it would appreciate using an AT ECU while MT.

I won't be changing the ECU.... I actually want to use my auto ECU, less parts to get ... again I don't care about the CEL.... save on install time... onlything I'm getting new is probebly a clutch, flywheel and starter, shoot ill take used mounts.... moncef can u make me a sticker?... let it have the writing "rust" and a bucket under it.... I understand everybody prefer a 6mt ecu and I would if I even care but I don't, ill be buying another car and this will literally be a beater.... I'm over this car really, I love it darely but not enough to even put one more mod on it.... just sold my LR maf to tookrzy
