Auto to Manual Writeup (5 speed conversion)

[rsagen]

I dont think so but that would be awesome if you could. I bet a lot of the parts are identical (clutch release fork, tailshaft cover, etc)

it wont work, trust me I have tryed. the truck tranny is 3 inches shorter. seems like a peice of cake if you get a driveshaft extension, but then trying to figure out what to do on the shifter.....

as for the flywheel and clutch and everything.... the truck has a 1 inch bigger diameter on the flywheel and the clutch, therefore being heavier. its also 30 bucks cheaper at NAPA for a new clutch kit.

with the truck flywheel and clutch on my car tranny (bolts together just the same) I think its pretty well impossible to stall the car. I can almost drop the clutch in 1st without it stalling with no revs

Anybody figure out the Cruise Control!!!! I need it bad, lead foot!

I had the same problem but it was because I had the wrong speed sensor. I had the s13 speed sensor and it was causing my spedo to read double. well cruise control wont work under like 30mph or over like 90 or 100mph (not sure on the maximum, never tested it). Anyways as soon as i got the right sensor the cruise control started to work so now when I'm going 60mph it doesn't read 120 and the cruise control works.

Hey guys I'm about to finish up my swap.....all I need is to inject the 5 speed into the motor.....and well none of my automatic connectors fit on my OBDII transmission except for the CAS and I was wondering is that all you need to at least drive the car.......PLEASE LEMME KNOW

[MyNISMO314]

bought a car with a 5 speed swap already in it...the problem i got is the guy put the factory bleeder hoses and all and now my clutch gets stuck in when i push it in and today all the damn fluid leaked out...did you bypass that factory stuff somehow or what...i tried adding more fluid and pumping the clutch but looks like the hose had enough and it just keeps leaking out...i was told i can bypass it but i asked the guy how and still hasnt answered so trying my luck here

even if you bypass the clutch dampener you still need that rubber hose that goes to the slave cylinder. buy a new one or buy a braided clutch line.

so my only problem is the clutch line? ive looked on here to which one it is but cant find it

I cant say "that is your only problem". i can say "if your trying to bypass anything in the clutch system the only thing to bypass is the clutch dampener". i can also say "if your bypassing the clutch dampener and the rubber hose is leaking you need to replace it or change out the entire line to a braided hose" but that really depends on how much loot you want to spend. i can also say "if your having trouble with your hydraulic clutch its best to replace both the master and slave at the same time because they are so cheap" however that is a matter of opinion.

[MyNISMO314]

yea ive seen circuit sport and couple of others have a 52" braided steel line the goes all the way from the MC to the SC and i think i will replace both cylinders as well just to be on the safe side and because they are cheap as well...but thanks for your help i tried looking around more and had no luck.

[driftneil]

Its simple bro...Just get the auto to manual conversion braided line from "FR sport" (or any place) And that goes right into the slave...So that takes care of your split rubber hose, and also deletes the dampener.
Then all you need to do, is attach the line to your master, but not the slave...Fill the master, and have a friend keep it topped off. And point the slave end of the line at the ground till it pours fluid. Attach to slave, and boom done. No need to bleed...USUALLY.
Good luck
Oh...Push the pedal to the floor, as well.

Is there a difference in the auto and manual drive shafts? Cant you use a s13 auto drive shaft with an s13 5spd tranny?

[thienthan]

Can I use a s13 manual drive shaft for a s14 5 speed conversion with no abs?

[diggles240]

^ nope

^^ nope

the FSM has the 1st and 2nd shaft lengths [spider to spider] that will show you the difference in length per model, ABS, etc.

How did u manage to only spend 400 to 500 $$$ on parts/tools?

[PHRINCE_S14]

Im new here and im doing the A/T to M/T conv. following this write up but i have some questions.

1.what would happen if I dont swap to manual ECU??2. I have a 95 Se which comes with ABS but the driveshaft that i found its a non-ABS is that going to give me any problems? 3.Can i buy the m/t bolt in a hardware store?b/c in miami there are about 12 junkyards and 0 s14 in them lol

As stated above the write up: CEL readings would always pop up, and you need to get an ABS driveshaft because your car is an SE model.. And I'm just curious about those wheels on that Zenki. What kind of wheels are those? would also like to know the sizes and offsets. thanks

[S14Magician]

okay so ive researched this in a few places and would like a confermation i have a 95 obd 1 s14 ive pulled everything for my swap from a s13 ive read that all the parta will work on my car true or not. non abs
