I have never done one, i have done research, i was just wondering, if i got a sr20det s14 swap/clip, this would come with everything all ready for the auto to manual swap right, or would some of the stuff be wrong cause its rhd, hard lines and such??? thanks i know it newb but i cant find anything on this... any insight would be nice...

Assuming that the front clip and your shell is complete, the only thing you should need is a clutch master cylinder and a clutch line.

You can get an OEM master and a braided line from any vendor.

Are you sure on the driveshaft? What are your sources?

Good call on the cross member though. Auto and manual crossmembers are different. It depends on where they cut the front clip. You may have to source a manual crossmember.

The front section of the driveshaft is different, so it would need replacement, or a 1-piece is in order

Can you link me to a thread somewhere?

Every time I call the Driveshaft Shop to order one they always say they don't care if it's auto or manual. Just S13 or S14 and ABS or non-ABS.

Is this something to do with the stock driveshaft?

Wow mang, you didn't know that? Spline count, length, and diameter are all different between auto and manual driveshafts.

Nope. Never knew that. Never did an auto manual swap. Never bothered searching.

I just go by what Driveshaft Shop tells me.
