i swear nissan should give me an award for being so loyal to their brand.... sooo for all the folks who were trying to beat my times or run me can do so with much confidence now lol... my transmission officially went today, no reverse and no 3rd gear, crazy how the 3rd gear went out while i was driving straight... just so you guys know, ive had an extremely looong record with nissan transmission that i honestly lost count on what number transmission im going on, seriously... anyways this isnt really a thread to just update everybody on the status of my car moreso, trying to get help on a parts list on a 6spd swap... i know most say just buy a 6spd but the maxima wont be my only car for long and i wont be seen driving another auto nissan... as far as my knowledge goes i need...........
NB: i dont wanna do the full 6spd as i dont mind the codes, the 6spd is moreso for the tad bit more a reliability in trans vs the tragic... im also not doing it for the speed (yep you heard correct)

* 6spd trans
Clutch
Master cyl
slave cyl
shifter assembly
shifter pedal
shifter ****
clutch pedal
passenger axle (driver axle if LSD)
shifter cable
shifter bracket

 

Good luck bruh, i was close to parting out/selling my car last week. but went ahead and bit the bullet and going to fix it

 

i heard what happened to you too... i need to get in contact with a shop... hills or asian imports... MD weather doesnt like maxima's im not even mad as yet, i go on vacation thursday and a messed up ride wont make me down right now

 

sucks to hear man, hope you can find all the parts needed and the swap goes smooth

keep us updated

 

want a shift kit??? $70 shipped brand new

 

Don't forget the 6MT ECU.

 

wouldn't know where to get it installed, and also don't want that hard shifting :/

i still am interested in the o2 dual sim
and the 3.5 intake

 

naw im not going to be going the full ECU swap route... i wanna continue using my auto ECU, less $$$ again my maxima is a daily driven point a to point B car, i dont care if it had CEL for whatever, i dont really care much for it anymore, im sure my transmission is still under warranty but thats also something i dont care for unless they will send me a 6spd trans... i wont even take a free auto trans with free installation if i got the chance, im completely done, this is 9 or 10 auto trans, like i said i lost count seriously

 

i dont have the extremely agressive shifting shift kit as i didnt want the hard shifting either... the price for the intake with filter and coupler will be $125 shipped, im keeping the o2 sim as i have use for it

 

if you could take pics that'd be great.. which filter is it? and how many miles? and are you keeping the BBMaf as well

 

I don't think it's possible for this to happen. Not as easy as a 4th gen deal. Limp mode will set in if you mix/match ECU's.

 

hmm... its been done already, i forgot dudes org name but theres a kid in NY that converted his auto to 6spd and boost it... used his auto trans also, but if its easier for the mechanic ill just do a 6spd swap

 

dang homie, i'm sorry to hear that i know that pisses you off to no end...i hope you're able to cop another vehicle as a backup..

OAN wanna trade suspensions

*leech* lol

 

lol there will be no part out, i will most likely bury my maxima 6ft under beside me... i wont even sell most of my mods i have sitting as i will probebly still use it... im not even looking for another vehicle right now, i already said in the ghustle thread what my next car is...

 

His name on NYCmaximas is Ohhhh Noes. Ask him. You don't need to swap anything except the ECU, I think. BUT I'm not sure how it'd set off limp mode. My only concern is the speed limiter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck, man. Keep us posted.

 

not worried about the speed limiter either... im trying to go the cheapest 6spd route.. i know his nycnissan name just cant remember his org name

 

The TPS/APPS sensors are really finicky and like to set off limp mode, especially since the AT ECU has a lot of triggers for it (CAN lines, VSS/etc)

 

gotcha... hopefully more can chime in on this... mind adding this to the all motor section also nmex?... dont move it from here though

 

jesus, how hard do you drive her Hustle?

 

Yea and this isnt the time to be car-less with the cold weather around the corner. Lucky u have a vacation comming up. im On the eastern shore for school. living off campus and working 12 miles from my house... NOT A GOOD LOOK WITH NO CAR. but i just got a motor today. so hopfully this weekend i will have it back together

 

if this thread would let me say i would tell you... very few ppl know, and know my records
who's doing the install???

 

If you decide to pop another auto in we can put it in for you.

 

cool, thats what i was calling yall about... ant ideas on 6spd trans install?

 

me and who ever else wants to help probably

 

wooooow, maybe if i already had a 6spd.. ill be paying excessive, as i dont even know who is doing the swap... yet...

 

lol well do work homie

 

after vacation... i wanna know if my mod list is accurate

 

Damn 9 or 10 Tran's **** I would of been done on 3!!!

 

Definitely subscribing to this thread... I'm considering doing a 6MT swap too, because the colder it gets, the worse my tranny shifts. Now I have 2-3 and 3-4 slip. Good luck with your swap OP!

 

4 maxima's.... the only reliable maxima i had was mt DE-K (nothing ever went bad) which my ex crashed... lil bish........ yep, far as i know, nissan now owes me

 

I have a 6spd flywheel and a shifter without the ****.

 

thats how mines started... 2-3 started tripping out

 

Buy Manny's flywheel

 

That's me. I'll post more on this later. Your parts list looks good so far, you don't need the master cylinder only the slave. Also don't forget a clutch line and tranny mount. As far as the ecu you can use your auto, keep the gear selector plugged in and screw it into the neutral position and it will start and drive. You'll have a CEL but you've already said you don't care. I drove around like that for a year then got a 6spd ECU. You can get the 6spd ECU for usually around $100 and program your keys for $50 from a locksmith with the equipment. Not that much more money to do it right.

 

Do you also need a manual center console?

 

I need the parts list to i need to get rid of this cruze-o matic its boring

 

K cool ill keep this post and start talking to a shop... ill get on the ball tomorrow with the minor stuff...

 

"Like"

 

Too bad. So close to setting the AT record. Sounds like a step in the right direction...

 

we will be in touch
i wouldve but he shipped it out today
ive been over that record a looong time ago, it wouldve been nice but most ppl would tell you that i didnt really care for the record, if i was to run Jime here in MD i wouldve kicked his ****, not really worried about the record nor do i care much for my maxima no more, ive got other cars in sight , unlike most i will still be keeping my 5.5, im not in it for the speed anymore, these are signs showing that it isnt meant to be...
