A/T CA18 to M/T ca18

Ok so my friend got a good deal on his CA but it came from an auto and I was curious what else is there needed to make his a manual also what nissans have the parts we need?

Sorry to point out the patently obvious, but a transmisson.... hehehe

You need:

TransFlywheel (iirc)ClutchPressure plateNew pilot bearingNew T/O bearingSandwich plate that goes inbetween the transmission and motorPossibly the transmission supports from the block to motor.

If the 240 chassis is also an auto you need:

Cluctch master cylinderSS Clutch lineSlave cylinderM/T Crossmember1 1/2" hole sawClutch pedal assemblyNew lower harness

You'll need to jump the lockout on the auto transmission. The car will start without the clutch engaged like this.

What kind of car can I get the pilot bearing from?

[HighwayStar22]

200SX IIRC. Somebody jump in here if I'm wrong.

there is no pilot bearing in the auto trans. Pilot bearings are used for manual transmission flywheels.

Auto don't use a flywheel persey. A torque converter bolts to the flywheel like thing and the trans input shaft goes into that.

Depending on the car (i did the auto to 5speed for a ca18de pulsar) You will need to grab a clutch pedal assembly plus switch (if your car doesn't have it). Make sure you get another mini engine harness and there is a plug that will go to the trans (it did on mine, prolly different on a RWD setup)

Anyway, its pretty easy, just make sure you have a parts car or something or at the very least get all the parts listed above.

Only benefit of having an auto motor is that it is less likely that it was beat on.

Tru180Kid is talking about the release bearing for the clutch. Im talking about the pilot bearing on the crankshaft.
