Does anyone have absolutely any idea, websites, or anything about swaping out a 4-speed automatic transmission to a 6-speed manual for a stock 2003 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5L 4x4?

Also, any computer modifications. all those god damn superchips and **** is for them gas guzzelin v-8 POS'. How can i squeez more HP and MPG out of my V-6?

I live in Ohio and its not the law nor do we have inspections. I want to cut my Exhaust off at the headers, and put the most breathable exhaust system on. Any ideas?

6spd mostlikely not, but the 01 and 02s like mine were offered with a rare 5spd. I would say it would be do able but a pain and very expensive.

Hopefully the bolt patterns would be the same, but itd be a pain to make it work wiht the 4x4. If you wanted ot make it just 2wd, it might not be so bad.

Really, you could modify the auto for much less money and really make it drive much nicer.

But then you still have an auto, which in my book is still lame

I gotta say, that i have a highly modified automatic trans, and its really nice... I use it like a manual anyway, i rarely let the computer decide when to shift.

How did you pull that off. Transmissions are not one of my expertise. I just know that i have that boring crap transmission that came from the factory and i hate it. If i can modify the auto i will, just give me some pointers. Thanks.
