A/T to M/T swap

[phase12048]

I've searched, but I can't find out if I can use a manual drive shaft up front and an A/T drive shaft in the rear? and does anyone know if i can use some of the a/t sensors on the manual? and if not does anyone know where i can buy them? any help is appreciated thanks.

what are you talking about?? u mean since the driveshaft is 2piece use at front and mt rear? just use the entire mt drivershaft. im not sure, but they are defintely different sizes. you dont need any at sensors. keep some of the plugs so it keeps your splicing job simplier. pick parts up at junkyards or dealership.

The rear driveshaft sections are the same, the only difference is the front one... The sensors are all different, There are 3 sensors on the side of the manual tranny, only 2 are actually necessary, the rear most one is for the top speed sensor, screw something else into that hole and you kill the top sped sensor... Gather some money and buy them at the Nissan stealership or find them used somewhere. I got the speed sensor used and the other sensors with my tranny.

<--- Finishing amassing parts for an auto/manual swap, I know how it is looking for this shit... No problem, I have had to search a million places...

do u know what the sensor at the top of the manual trans is. i broke it and i have a engine check sign up. i dont know what that is tho. thanks

yeah its pretty hard to find a junkyard here in the bay area with any 240's and if there are any chances are everythings already been stripped.

I bouight a manual dshaft off ebay for 40 bux shipped and it bolted on, then got the rest of the parts from snail. but before i found him it took like 4 months for me to search for good prices on that shit, but im seein a lot more swap parts on FS section these days. good luck. btw tip, if you dont have the hard line get it from the dealer it is 20 bux and would be a pain to ship anyway. and would prolly bend.

Yeah, I was thinking i would have to buy the m/c line and flywheel bolts fromt the dealer but the bolts cost around 60 dollars. Hopefully I can have the sensors mailed up to me this weekend and I'll be ready to do my install this weekend, but I'll have to see

Flywheel bolts are a dealer only item and cost me 6.47 each for 6 of em... I would have paud 40.00 for the manual driveshaft and forgot what the proice would have been for the speed sensor, but worked out a trade for an S14 ECU I had and didn't need for a lot less for those items... Check www.car-part.com for parts you find you may need to see what junkyards in your area has them if you haven't already.

Thanks phlip, I think im going down to some of the junkyards i havent been to tomo. I used your site and it was alot of help thanks. An mt ecu came with my tranny, but i hope i can pick up what i need tomo. wish me luck.

Negative, Ghostrider.

Rear sections differ between HICAS models and non-HICAS models (S13 only of course).

Ive put together 3 different sets of auto/manual swap packages (pedals, slave cylinder, all hard lines, sensors, etc) for s13's and shipping those gawdamn hardlines is a whore...biggest box I found and I still had to wrestle them in there, they didnt bend though, luckily. Buying them would be much easier....
