Hey everyone,
I’ve got a 2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5L V6 automatic and I’m planning a full manual swap to wake it up and make it fun to drive. I’ve already done a lot of research and I know the RS6F51H 6-speed from the 04–06 Maxima SE and 04–06 Altima 3.5 SE/SE-R should work.

I just want to confirm a few things from someone who’s done the swap:

1. Is the Altima SE/SE-R 6-speed 100% compatible for the Maxima swap (mounts, sensors, axles)?
   
2. What full parts list do I need beyond the trans? (Clutch pedal, master/slave, mounts, flywheel, ECU, etc.)
   
3. Did you use the stock Maxima ECU and just reflash/tune it with UpRev?
   
4. Any issues with the starter, wiring, or neutral safety bypass?
   

Any tips, guides, or parts for sale would help a lot. My dad and I are doing this together, so we’re ready to wrench. Appreciate any help or first-hand experience.
Thanks!
