well here's the situation, i bought this 89 240sx with a blown motor and bad auto tranny, so i am swapping the motor out, and dropping in another ka24e i bought from a local guy, and a 5 speed swap...

Materials i have, if i'm missing anything let me know!

-5 speed transmission w/ shifter
-5 speed cross member
-5 speed drive shaft non abs
-clutch kit (exedy)
-clutch master and slave cylinder (nabaco)
-clutch pedal and brake pedal
-clutch hardline and softline
-m/t mount

i already have the flywheel bolts, since the flywheel came with the engine i bought and its bolted on...

do i need any other bolts other than the m/t flywheel bolts? .. im not quite sure what bolts to use for the Master or slave cylinder

also anyone have any tips for me, removing the brake pedal seems tough.. so im going to do that first thing tomorrow.. advice would be appreciated.

also what is the best way to remove the 4 bolts on the drive shaft near the differential? .. sockets didn't seem to go on there good enough, so i'm guessing just a regular wrench?

and last question, where is the drain bolt for the transmission oil pan? i thought it would of been on the bottom of it.. but i didn't see any drain bolts (16mm) on the bottom :S..

heres some PICS!
excuse the gay rims :P got some se's i need to put some tires on lol

ahh and this is the transmission oil pan right?

"any motor that revs over 6k just isnt safe"...lmfao

I missed those when I did mine.

Here's my recommendations.

- Bell housing bolts and nuts
- Clutch hardline bracket & clip
- Exhaust bracket that goes from tranny mount to cat
- New throwout bearing
- Rear main seal
- Tranny front and rear seals
- Weather/shifter boots

I removed steering shaft and it was easy to swap brake pedal.

Yes, use regular wrench for the drive shaft.

hmm, can you use the a/t bolts to the belhousing? or do you need to get bolts from a m/t?

and, are the seals hard to get off? do you need some special tool to get em off?

i'll be posting up more pics today!

i just got pretty much everything i needed today for the 5 speed swap.. except a cross member, if im missing something let me know

i am going to need to find someone selling m/t bellhousing bolts

..im lacking some tools though.. haha like a hole saw... lol

should i rip that out? ... i already tried and bent the wall behind it slightly... wtf is that? this normal?

anyone know? lol

is this swap gonna cost you 4-500 for the grand total? If so that's not a bad deal, especially since s-chassis auto cars are usually at least a grand or two cheaper than m/t's. Very interesting!

Want a custom grill for your kouki s14?

Check out my write up. They work as a guide for bolts that go from clutch pedal bracket to clutch master cylinder.

Remove the dampener line that's attached the lower portion of clutch hardline. Connect hard line directly to the slave cylinder soft line.

From the picture, you are missing the weather boot and retainer for the shifter.

also what kind of greese would you reccomend to use for the transmission seals, and pretty much everything that needs greese...

multi purpose grease?

also heres a pic of my clutch pedal.. damn

im missing that clip that goes in the hole under the white hole where the screw goes, if you know what im talking about...

would my clip from my auto brake pedal fit ?

also how much did it cost you for the new bushing?

You mean weather boot? You need it for sure otherwise heat, smell, water and noise will get into the cabin and becomes very annoying.

I have both lithium and multi purpose grease. I used multi purpose grease for all the seals and lithium grease for mechanical parts like release fork, throw out bearing...etc. They are pretty cheap.

I bought a new clutch pedal which was about $40-50, but you can give it a shot of weld just like hijacker did. Problem is... that area is covered with grease, so people overlook it. Bushings are super cheap like a couple of bucks.

You are talking about 'Clevis Pin.' Yes, you can use one from automatic brake pedal. They are same.

hey man you have aim? you seem to have the answer to all my questions :D

also in this pic is my dust cover missing?

or is that bronze part the dust cover?

Sorry, don't have AIM.

Yeah, dust cover is there. That's 3rd different kind I've seen on s-chassis tranny. I found another missing piece. Where's the driveshaft? Driveshaft from automatic s13 won't work.

I should have bought the bolts from this guy. I got mine from dealership and the longest bell housing bolt was no longer available. You can buy from hardware store, but I doubt the quality.

I think I'll post a complete list of 5 speed swap parts in 5 speed swap thread soon.

hmm, how much did a new pedal cost you.. just the pedal? .. im thinking about just going to the dealership and ordering new bellhousing bolts and new pedal plus bushing, spring and all that...

oh and i think im missing the retainer spring to my transmission... where can i find one of those?

cool.

I think it was like $40-50 including tax. I get some discount though. It's 46540 and some small stuff comes with it.

Like I said, the longest bell housing bolt(75mm) is no longer available, so you have to get it from a hardware store. Check this thread for the bolts part numbers.

Is it 30534? If so, it's just a couple of dollars.

oh by the way what kind of paint did you use to paint your housings for your clutch and brake pedals? it looks good
and did you sand them? or sandblast them? im using 80 grit to sand all the rust off mine.. but its a pain in the *** to get in the corners inside..

and i tested out my drive shaft to see if it would fit right.. since someone said the dust cover i have may be to an sr, and the ka drive shaft would not fit.. but it fit, its just there is a little gap so dust could still get in.. i guess i could just tape it for now.. haha

so now do i just connect the hardline directly to the slave cylinder hose?

like this

haha heres the pedal housing.. pain in the *** to sand... still in progress :S

Yes, that dust cover doesn't belong to s13/s14 KA. I've never seen SR dust cover before and I know how it looks like now.

You need to bend hardline like this to connect to the bracket and soft line. Be careful not to get a kink. Get Line Wrench from parts store. It's very useful. You won't strip the nut.

Man, looking good so far.

i just used vice grips to take the nuts off worked really well, did you have to drill a hole in the frame to mount that braket? or is there a hole in the frame already?

also can't exactly tell where you started to bend it... hmm

this the spot?

Modified by okinawa drift at 9:25 PM 4/29/2008

No, driveshaft will rotate, so tape won't work. Try to turn the driveshaft with your hand and see if it touches the dust cover. If so, you better remove it and get the right one. s13 dust cover is like $10 from the dealership. Or you can remove it.

.. also when you bent the hardline did you just bend it or did you use some tool to bend it?

With hands...

All s13s have threaded hole for the bracket, so you don't have to worry about it.

Yes, that's the spot. Install the hardline and bracket first and bend it. That's the best way to do it.

also what is better to use .. a 1 1/2 hole saw
or
1 3/8 hole saw

also i was searching for parts does this look about right... im gonna write this down and take it to a local nissan dealership

Engine / Bellhousing Bolts

1 1/2 is better. 1 3/8 hole saw is a little too small I guess.

It's not 08911. 08911-2401A is the right number

Bushings / Clutch Pedal Bush Pedal = [46530E] $5.99 Bush Pedal = [46534] . $6.06 Pad Pedal = [46530N] $5.14 Spring Return = [46586] $7.34

46530E, 46534, 46530N...etc. These are not part number. You should print out the diagram and take it with you to the dealership.
