240 manual transmission parts

[Ceptos]

hey,

i wrote earlier about how my auto transmission quit on me, i looked into getting my current auto rebuilt, and then looked into turning it into a manual. turns out it isnt too much more expensive to change it, so thats what i plan on doing now.

i am wondering if i can use parts from earlier 240s? i have a 1995, i know the dohc engine was used in years earlier than this, so does this mean that i can use the transmission and drive shaft and other parts from these years? i am guessing it is going to be a little hard to find a standing 95+ 240 to strip for parts, so it would make it easier if i can use these parts from the earlier years.

and since i plan on spending like 2000 plus the price of a clutch (maybe 450 for a good one) i am probably no longer going to get the SR swap done...o well, most likely n/a, or maybe turbo ka if i can afford it =)

daunttless answered my question for me, yes you can use the parts from any year that had the dohc engine, thanks!

i am looking at some transmissions on ebay right now for 91-93 240s...selling for 150. they say they can only be used for these years...tho i dont think there was any change to the 240 at all from 93-94, was there? maybe they just dont know what they are talking about...yeah im really gonna buy that transmission now, heh.

The transmission is the same for all years of 240SX.

except S15, that has a 6-speed. does that transmission bolt onto any SR20det? s14 6spd?

[Daunttless]

there is no S15 240SX. : )

And yes the S15 Silvia transmission bolts up to any Silvia or 180SX SR20.

but the driveshaft from ours doesn't bolt up to the s15 transmission...correct?

[Daunttless]

That is correct, you'll want the driveshaft and rear differential unit. : )

You must get a driveshaft from a 95' - 03/97 S14. They changed after 03/97' anyone know what the difference is??

I got all my parts out of an 89' and everything but the driveshaft fits. The driveshaft as a whole is about 2in short and the center support bearing is about 6in too far forward.:rolleyes

I have a transmission, crossmember, and shifter for sale cheap if you want em' [email protected]

Its because of ABS if I remember correctly, a non-abs unit should still work, but I may be confused. : )
