Hi errr.... i've searched but it hasn't been totally addressed in my opinion. I have parts for a my 240sx auto to 5 speed swap. I was wondering if i should just sell it and save up for the rb25det with a manual? Thanx in advance :D

Depends. If you ALREADY have the parts AND can do it yourself, I would do it. Why not.....? Most shops charge extra for transmission swap. If you CANT do it yourself, i would sell it and save for the whole rb25 shabang. You will still need pedals and whatever else..I dont know...I wouldnt/didnt buy a autotragic 240 so I know next to nothing about what is needed. I wouldnt waste a few hundred bucks, when you can have it all done at once. My opinion If you have been driving this long with the autotragic, what is a little while longer???:D

hhaah autotragic.... that's funny :D Yeah i see your point. I never drove an auto car.... minus the 87 turd bird. But i guess so... i should save up for the rb25det with the auto. I'd hate to buy a new clutch and crapo for an "autotragic" (hahah still laghing). Thanx for your input!
