swapping auto s13 with HUD to manual.

[FossMotorsportsInc]

Hello, Name is Jared, I am new to the forums, I pickup up a 1/89 factory 2 tone silver/gray, blue interior SOHC KA, JDM auto transmission. This car has the HUD cluster that works fine, also has crackless dash! only 121k miles on the car.

This is my 1st ever Nissan that I have owned. My car roots are Volvo turbo/Toyota 4x4/rwd chevy's. I have been drooling over skyline's/silvia's/300zx's since I was 10 years old.

I was wondering if the HUD will still work properly if I swap the car to a manual transmission. also if I ever swap to SR20/manual will the HUD work?

also, is the "JDM" sr20 auto trans any different for a US KA auto trans?

The previous owner said that when his buddy got the car the transmission was shot so they found a sr20 auto to swap in it on the cheap.

any information on this will be very helpful!

Have no idea about the auto sr20 tranny at all but I'm 99% sure if you just swap it to a manual it doesn't affect the hud. I know I have a 92 coupe with digital dash and a hud and I'm running an sr20 with manual trans and they both work perfectly.

the hud unit is just a mirror image of the cluster and runs off the trans speed sensor, the difference between ka man trans and a sr man trans is the 5th gear and the bell housing, to make things easy keep ka trans with a ka and sr trans on a sr.
takes 2 seconds to reserch this on this forum and google try it next time
