auto>manual swap question (regarding transmission)
if it has a crank position sensor in the bell housing [which is only suppose to be obdII] it will be a problem. now on older engines ,not just 240, the crank and cam sensor was incorperated into the distributor. If your car has an obd II connector under the dash it has that sensor. That sensor is only used by the computer for monitering purposes on your car. It does nothing with controling firing or otherwise. It is only used to moniter for missfire by watching the speeding up and decel of the flywheel each time a cyl is fired. If you have it and removed it from the system it would throw a code but not effect the drivability of the car. I know the 95's had OBDII so your car most likely has this sensor. If you have a machine shop available to you you can have that hole added to the bell housing and the screw hole so you can install the sensor. the only precise measurement needed would be the distance from the bell houseing to engine mounting surface to the center of the hole where the existing sensor is mounted. you do not have to be precise on where it is around the outside of the bell housing as it only watches the teeth on the flywheel and has no indexing on the flywheel as to where #1 is [ That only applies to older model cars like yours ,2000 and up cars have an indexing ring mounted to the fly wheel if the sensor is mounted to the bell housing.] All though OBDII was not required till 1996 MY Nissan experimented with OBDII in 1995 on the vehicles that experianced a model change. i.e. 240,maxima,sentra.
