About the drive shaft, you will have to get at least the first section of it. The auto and manual are different. and the trans cross member is different too.

About the speed sensor, i have been running my car about 3 years with the auto speed sensor on the manual trans without any problems so far.

Thats weird the auto speed sensor will not fit into the hole on the 5 speed transmission? The sensor is too fat to fit in the hole. At least it was on my 95' ODBII

but is it from a sohc auto in a sohc manual? or dohc auto in a dohc stick? im going from a sohc auto tranny to a dohc stick tranny.

My husband and I just recently did a tranny swap on our '96 240sx SE, and I've been trying to find out if when I put in a manual ECU into it and take the auto ECU out, will my autostart still work or will I have to rewire it for it to work? And if so, does anyone have a write up for that? Right now the autostart still works, so I wanted to know the results of changing to a manual?

You will need to reiwre for the 5 speed ecu - most people just keep the auto as it does not have the speed cut.
Check out my video it covers a ton of info that will help you.

Honestly I wouldnt waste any time or money on stock driveshafts the center (carrier) bearings are usuall ybad abd cost $100 to replace. Just get a 1 piece made and call it a day.

well that be the case I have not tried it so I will not try and answer it.

no its not them same - the front auto DS will not work on the 5 speed the rear piece will work with the front 5 speed.
The ABS DS is .75" shorter than the 5 speed.
So you will need to buy a 5 speed DS too - which is why I said just get a 1 piece and call it a day.

Ive done a 5spd swap on a 90 240sx sohc, it though i remember seeing in a post somewhere saying that you can use the old auto harness to plug in your 5spd. well when i droped the auto i noticed all the plugs on it are different than the plugs for the 5spd, so how can this be? Did i misunderstand?

Do you need a manual trans harness and you use the auto harness so you can wire up the car so it will turn on and to make the lights work?

if so the manual trans harness is missing on the list of materials form the tut and needs to be corrected.

naaa just kididng lol i still need help on this though

and DON'T suggest black tape please or disconnecting the bulb LOL i would like the light working so i can tell if something else happens to the car.

what is the code for the check engine light? if you dont have a scanner take to autozone and get them to scan for codes.

I had "0" codes on my swap

Do have it on your DVD?

No I do not - JWT has a write-up on thier site to wire up the ECU (I think)
As for the CAS yes you can drill the holes for it - if you want to keep the ECU happy you will need it if not you wont.

As for the 5 speed S14 wiring yes that is all on my DVD.

if you had my DVD you would know the answers to those questions

Since I am a nice guy I will answer them for you

If you use the auto ECU you can not wire in the 5th - its a diagnostic pin location on the auto ECU - its not needed anyway but it might throw a code if not used?

As for the check engine light - some people do and some dont - I did not have one on my video car - I always wonder if people that get a code did wire it up right? I used a 5 speed ECU in my video though.

Your cruise control will work if you wire it up like I do in my video (hey cant give it all away)

Is it true that there is no rev limiter? Isn't that bad? What if you mis-shift like 5th to 2nd or something retarded, is your engine toast? lol
