Im planning on getting an 240sx hatch, but the only nice ones that i could get are automatic. how much would everything cost if i change the tranny to manual? i tried searching, but couldnt find anything. Thanks!

Depending on how easy it is to get your hands on parts it should cost somewhere around $300 to even $600. Good luck. Shouldn't be too hard.

how much would the labor cost to get it done? would it be easy enough to do it yourself or i go to a shop that does it..how much it would it usually cost parts + labor?

i was wondering if there is anyway you could help me out also. i just picked up 1990 240sx hatch and its automatic. im trying to convert it to a manual tranny. is there anyway you can help me? i live in the west covina area. thanks.

^ sounds like a great deal right there. =] its pretty easy to do it yourself. I had my brother help me on taking off the auto tranny and lifting up the manual tranny. Pretty easy if you read over and over on how to do it and if you know what you are doing.

JeKyL · 07-03-2011, 12:58 PM

Ok well the parts might be more expensive at a later time, and I'm not to far from you, pomona is next to walnut and walnut is next to west covina I can come to you

how much would it cost? cuz im barely getting the car and i wont have excess money till my next pay or so.

JeKyL · 07-03-2011, 05:33 PM

your probably looking at around 400, you can probably find stuff for a bit cheaper on craigslist as far as clutch pedal little bs parts dont worry about the break pedal that can be cut so you can save some money, the most expensive part is the transmission

I live across from that place. i see car meets there all the time. ill try to make it, but i dont think my 240 is nice enough for that yet.

JeKyL · 07-04-2011, 04:38 AM

It doesn't matter how nice or bad your 240 is its a 240 meet regardless as long as your an enthusiast its all good I rolled in 2 pos 240s there before its no big deal
