So I searched a little and couldn't find the answer so, Are there any differences on the engine between an automatic and manual transmission trucks?

Also, will a manual transmission from a 240sx bolt to the ka24e block on the truck or are the bell housings different?

Thanks,Matt

You'll need another truck transmission. They're not the same. You'll also need to swap over the flywheel to one from a manual.

You'll need the pedal, linkage, clutch master, as well as a few electrical changes. Over on http://www.nissan4wheelers.com, a friend of mine recently did this on his WD21 Pathfinder and found it easiest to just buy a donor truck and then part out the rest.

As far as the engine goes, do any sensors or anything besides the flywheel and clutch need to be switched out?
