Ok, has anyone here actually done a 5spd conversion?

Did you run into any problems that I might not have thought of yet? I know it seems like a newbie question, but I'm just trying to be prepared. I am actually doing the swap, BTW. I will take picks and do a ****'in write-up so I'll be the last anxious person hopefully!

Thanks,
Kaleb

Have you seen the write up on Maximadriver.com yet? If not, you really need to take a look at it. Go to maximadriver! And it is in the how2 section.

should talk to need4pwr (that's the guy with the black max right?) he sold it though. or talk to that guy that was selling his maxima. I believe he did the conversion himself. The guy from Maryland. Let me know if you need his contact info again. ICQ me or something

I tried doing it on my max and couldn't but i had a friend do it at his shop. he ended up charging about $625 for the work and the only thing is now i don't have to push the clutch in to start it. good or bad it is your call. it was a 93 se 5spd into a 92 gxe auto. also it it can now outrun any stock 93 se 5spd in louisville so i don't know if a 92 weighs less or what but it made a difference in my car.
