auto->manual/sr20 swap at the same time

[nissanrcer240]

My sr20 is on the way, its not a front clip its just the engine package. My car's an auto right now and it's getting switched over to manual transmission. My question is what parts will I need, that are not included in the sr20 engine package, to switch my car to a 5 speed transmission. I've done some searching and between me and a couple of my friends heres a list I've came up with.....

Clutch pedalbrake pedalclutch master cylinder with resevoirclutch slave cylinderclutch hydraulic linesfront and rear drive shaftreverse light sensorneutral position sensor5th gear sensorlower shift boot and plateupper shift boot and finisher plateflywheel bolts for m/t

Thats what I've got and I'm not sure exactly if those are all the right parts, I was hoping someone could tell me if that list is right, and if not what else do I need and about how much more would all that cost. I emailed unstable hybrids about maybe getting a package from them that has all the parts needed for the 5 speed swap as an add on with the sr20 package. I didnt order my engine from them so all I need is the extra package, anyone have any idea if they would do that, I'm still waiting for a response from them. Any help is greatly appreciated, I tried to search for this information, so sorry if this has already been posted b/c I couldnt find it.Nick

Nick,

I just finished doing the auto to manual while doing the SR swap. I haven't finished the swap yet though. You don't need the sensors (reverse, neutral, & fifth gear). Your SR trans will come with reverse and neutral sensors, no fifth gear sensor though, not needed. You also don't need flywheel bolts. My engine came with those. The things missing, as far as I can see, are: the dust cover at the end of transmission. The SR one will be too big for US 240SX driveshaft. You also need manual transmission brace. The auto one is different. You also do not need the clutch loop as it will just trap air.

here is something else that might help. http://www.240sx.org/links/ins...p.htm

MojoMan , yeah thats actualy the link I used to get most of the parts off of my list from...thats a very useful walkthrough imo Clutch pedalbrake pedalclutch master cylinder with resevoirclutch slave cylinderclutch hydraulic linesfront and rear drive shaftlower shift boot and plateupper shift boot and finisher platedust cover at end of transmissionmanual transmission brace

So this is what the list should look like now then? Whats the clutch loop, is that something thats listed here/\ but as a different name? thanks for the help by the way...I'm still waiting on the email reply from unstable hybrids, that would save me ALOT of trouble if I could get the package from them, but in worst case scenario, I want to make sure I know exactly what to get in case I have to go searching through junkyards for the parts

I searched for awhile and found alot of post on a few pages. Just search "auto to manual" I read a bunch of post.

[nissanrcer240]

MojoMan, yeah there was a bunch of posts, but the ones that didnt say use the search button, were either just a KA auto-->manual swap or not strait foward about what exactly was needed, like what I'm looking for...

UsedToOwn240SX,or anyone else who might know, does that list look right now? thanks for all the help

Done it. You may not need the slave cylinder I got one on the SR. I don't know about the S13 but the S14 automatic driveshaft brace worked fine. The clutch loop is what the hydraulic line connects to and it is located down on the opposite side of the downpipe. It looks like a big loop. Also the rubber hose that goes from the clutch loop to the slave cylinder. I had to get my rubber hose from a Nissan dealership. Later

well i cant say that im completely clear yet on what exactly i need, i guess b/c i dont know exactly what is coming with the sr package,when it gets here im more than likely going to have some more questions, probly via email if you guys dont mind, since you've already done it you could probly be alot of help to me, thanks in advance....another question i have, if i was able to get a 89-90 240, like the whole car, would everything i need be on the car for the swap?

[nissanrcer240]

the reason why i was asking about the 89-90 240, was b/c i didnt know if the fact that they were soch would have anything to do with not being able to use the parts i need from it, i dont think it would, anyone know for sure?

[UsedToOwn240SX]

Yup, if you can get the whole car (manual, not auto), it should have all the parts you need. Just be sure to get the SR engine from a good source, such as HT, phase2, unstable, enjuku, etc.The list looks complete to me.

i just read a post talking about needing the KA transmission harness is that true? My SR came with its own harness do you really need to change it??

p.s. you might get lucky like me and get the jdm driveshaft, and transmission mount brace w/ your SR swap.

You don't need the KA M/T transmission wiring harness. You just need the automatic wiring harness and you have to cut some of the plugs off and attach them on the SR harness like for the alternator. You also need to jumper a wire together and that is covered on 240sx.org. The backups can be wired up very easily you just need to figure out what wires they are on the SR transmission harness then extend those wires to the backup sensor.
