I am considering buying a s14a to replace my s13 as it is going to be retired. I have already put a sr20red top into my 91 s13. I would like to put that motor in an s14a. Most of the cars i've seen are auto, so I'd like to do a manual swap

here are my concerns:

1. how does s13 redtop/s13 chasis wiring go with a s14a?
2. will the manual tranny bolt up to the s14a auto drive shaft?oris there other parts needed?
I am concerned because i saw this article:

3. Guage cluster concerns?
4. Guage cluster/wiring working with s13 sr20det ecu etc?
5. Avalibility of parts i.e pedals , center piece etc.
6. will the slave cylinder/master cylinder/lines/pedal and all that stuff work from the s13 ?

So far I have read the auto / manual driveshafts were different, even in USDM

I have an Auto S14a and am swapping in a redtop, looking for an answer to the same question :confused:

EDIT: bacially do auto / manual use the same driveshafts? if we do have to get new ones can always use the USDM ones ofcourse im sure I wont have a problem finding some in Sun valley, (CA)

i just finished converting my 95 auto s14 to stick yesterday , i can tell you there are a lot of parts that you dont need that are listed in some of those FAQ's . However the drive shaft is one of those things that you WILL need to change, i also have lots of spare s14 parts if you need anything. 3 parts cars. Let me know if you need any help or tech info.:axe:

guys you need to search on this site . There is a auto to 5 speed swap faq in our Faq section. As far as putting in the redtop SR in the S14 it can be done and has been done. its a wiring thing and you should have a shop that has done it do it for you. Unless of course you are joe wireman and feel you can tackle it.
