well it'll be about 10-20kgs lighter than an auto gear box... you'll need: manual gear box clutch set clutch bearing flywheel bolts front, rear and LH engine mounts, with extra LH engine mount brace, better to get all 4 manual shifter and cable and cable clips need to override the auto gearbox sensor (something to do with the wires near the gearbox housing) firewall for the manual gearbox to the crank case optional manual ecu, can still use auto ecu with manual box don't need manual drive shaft since it's the same for auto gear oil i think that's it.... |

just to let you know, i got the manual gearbox with all the cables and gear shift lever as a package for $700nzd back then (plus bits and pieces) and labour costs $700nzd but the damn clutch kit from Toda cost $2000 nzd... and took about half a day to get it all sorted.... |

I dont think the left side drivershaft hanger bearing is offset auto vs mt so while same shafts can be used the hanger bracket must be changed. On the auto box plug there is two wires from memory there black on ae111, just join them and solder them. Two of the wires in that plug are for your reverse switch for backing lights, when you get the m/t try and get the plug for the reverse switch to make things easy. |

yeah i've told chiksluvit on msn regarding the hanger bracket which is hell to get off... regarding the wires, that's just above the clutch slave area, my friend just solder them, but you can get the switch like you said... also when you reverse the reverse tone works too.... which is funny when you have it on a manual box.... |

you need to wire the rev switch or you wont have any backing lights.... The hanger bearing is easy, unto the two bolts and split it, remove the shaft then the bracket can easly be removed from the block. |

yeah it's straight forward... problem is we had problems undoing the bolts on johnny's car since the bolt just got rusty and wouldnt move... must be because of me... i think i really should stay away from johnny's car.. Edited by chiksluvit, Oct 24 2008, 11:39 AM.

it's pretty much straight forward job, but it will take at least half a day or maybe a bit more... it would depend on the mechanic really... just need to drill a hole on the firewall for the clutch, and then removing the auto trans and fitting the manual trans... the slightly more difficult part is fitting the rear engine mount and the drive shaft back.... |

mount and shaft is easy if you remove the subframe how your meant to... seen people hitting the studs out just makes a mess. You need a manual right side hander bearing mount I think?? as the auto one wont line up with the M/T |

Right boys the conversion is nearly complete... apart from a few little niggles are the nuts for the gearbox to the engine the same auto and manual as the ones off the auto seem shorter and i didnt get given the ones off the manual box ![]() also is the centre console different from the manual as the manual gear gator seems to be a different shape to it.... or am i being stupid? Thanks |

Yeah the nuts from the auto is shorter, so you need the manual nuts to fit it... and yeah the centre console will be different when fitting the manual lever, but what i did was just remove the leather cover... |
