This should silence everyone who says it's bad to convert and give autotragic owners hope that it can be done safely and efficiently. I personally got mine down for $1000 including parts and labor. It was a weekend project, with myself doing a significant portion of the work. It was fun though, once in a lifetime experience too. And the joy you get from converting your car to 5spd is priceless.

Once again, 3rd genners get no love

 

3rd Genners are still around? I thought those beaters would die off by now

 

Get ready to add a #8 on that list in a month or so. I'm looking for trannys right now, but have had no luck around here so far. Kinda weird, all the 3rd gens swapping seem to be in Texas.

Actually, all the 3rd gens have died off. We are the only three left.

 

 

oh yeah..add another 3rd gener to the list...he did his a looooooooooooooooooong time ago... need4powr

 

matthel (turbo95max) did.

 

Yeah, he was one of, if not THE, first one to do the swap.

 

What about Raimus, I thought he did

 

skimax
demian (only to remove it and sell it)

i THINK mehran did it too, not sure.

 

I'm about to start buying the parts next month so get ready to add me on that list.

 

i'll be on the different list for 6speeds... (i hope)

 

Mehran did do it. He was the very first person to do it. He would still have his Maxima had he not given up on it after he blew his tranny because of his 4-puck clutch. He moved on to a Supra now.

 

he has done the swap. ohh by the way he also fully converted his 96 to a 97&up. and a 100 shot set-up.

 

yes he did..PW.. glad to see your running amuck over there

 

trying to start a club?

 

Don't forget John (TheZcarguy)

 

I'm installing mine today...

 

The question is, how many 5/6spd owners have converted to auto?

 

My NOS has calmed down my 5spd conversion fever a bit.

 

 

Don't forget theZcarguy and mtrai760

 

Ive converted to speed too!!!!!

 

I like how you said speed, becuase we did indeed come from slow(auto) to speed(5spd)

List has been updated.

Nickstam, I donno, it would be pretty cool, but hopefully this will become a sticky sometime after we get everyone in there so people who are skeptical about it can take a look at the many successes.

Bump.





(Moderators: Think of something that rhymes with icky

 

i tell you what all you former auto guys done forget where you come from. done forget your mama, done forget how you bought the max! i dont care how many gears you put in your ride you still bought an auto.

 

ok guys have a few quick questions, for those wh converted to 5spds. it's the same **** as a stock 5spd. right? and how long do you think 4th genners are gonna last. 10 years?? haha

 

AuTo 4 LifE yO!

Have any of you guys fixed the park neutral position CEL problem? Would extending wires from the signal and ground from the PNP harness to the clutch switch work?

I should be starting the conversion sometime soon. The brake pedal is in, but I got lazy and didn't want to move my gauge wires that went through the firewall via clutch/master cylinder area, so the clutch pedal isn't in yet.

 

Kev,

The problem only happened to me. Chaz accidentally mis-matched some wires, and it is a simple fix. As long as you wire everything correctly you will be a.o.k. my friend.

I can't wait till you convert!! You have forcefed BIGTIME so you will feel the 5spd PoWaH even more I bet

Also, don't forgot that damn hole you gotta drill by the clutch pedal for the master cylinder to be hooked up too. Get a hole saw, don't make the same mistake as us!








BTW, did you figure out what rhymes with icky??

 

Im hoping to do the conversion, it will prolly be next summer b4 i get the funds and get the parts!

 

you missed one: AznStevie - 4th gen.

 

Hehehe... too bad the 5th gen wiring is different than the 4th gen wiring. Did chaz just splice the signal and ground wires together (i.e. Harold's instructions)? Thanks!

Yup, I have a hole saw. When I made the template, 1.25" seems like a perfect fit, but 1.5" seems better. Which one did you guys use?

Picky... Sorry, I don't have the ability to sticky threads in the Gen forum.

 

It is? Booo...I believe Chazman accidentally wired the "Reverse lights" wire to the Neutral deal, and the "Neutral deal" to the Reverse lights setup...of course no light comes on in N, he just accidentally confused the two.


lol, well that's just the thing, he forgot to buy a hole saw so we had to use a dremel and manually saw away at the metal forming a circle. Talk about tedious!! Go with the 1.25, I agree with you it seems like more of a perfect fit. But, if your in doubt, just take the master cylinder deal and try to fit it through the saw (which you probubly already did). And always remember, you can go bigger but you cant go smaller, so even if 1.25 isnt enough you wouldn't be screwed like you would be if you used the 1.5"


D'oh

 

Harold and I wrote the instructions together.. So yes.. I did as the instructions say.

 

5gen 5speeds dyno about 25hp over an auto.

Anyone dyno a 5 speed conversion?

I am curious how a 5 speed stock compares to a converted 5 speed?

 

D'oh! Thanks, I'll go with 1.25"

 

Could you briefly explain the reverse light rewire please? The instructions on Harold's site didn't include it (only had PNP switch wiring). Thank you.

 

Dont forget me. I already have the donor car and the job should be done sometime in january, with a new act clutch and flywheel. That would make me just about one of the fastes Max's in SoCal, then I can work on my project in which should make me the fastest. See you guys next year around this time, get ready to have your asses handed to you SoCal Max's
