converting from automatic to 5 speed

[roiddy]

what parts do you need to convert to manual? i would like to make that change by this summer. was going to get a 240sx but decided to stay with my altima anyone seeing this now what parts i need? which transmission is best? and maybe any good websites i can go too? anything would help i just need help with this

no disrespect intended but unless you have a lot of mods on your car, a 99 Altima is not worth a lot. The cost of the swap alone could pretty much buy another car. Unless you can get the parts for under $1000 and do the work yourself it won't be worth it.

You'll need:
-clutch pedal
-MT brake pedal
-5spd transmission
-clutch set
-Mt flywheel
-slave cylinder
-master cylinder
-MT speed sensor
-clutch line
-new transmission linkage
-MT shifter + center console ring
-transmission mount
-axles. I think for that year the passenger side is the same but you'll need a new driver side axle

yeaah no disrespect taken a friend of mine told me what it would probly come to and basicly what you said.. im not sure what to do i didnt think it would have cost that much really i only decided to stay with the car cuz my sister gave me the car i dont have to pay insurance for it or anything expect pay for gas so i thought why not keep it you know.

Yeah, it might be cheaper for your year model but the gains won't be that great I'd imagine. I'd just go find a 240. :P

it is cheaper i was looking up the parts myself i just dont know where to find a transmission do you know where i can find one? and of course the gains wouldnt be that great the car is basicly stock with some added new parts to the engine but thats about it. i just want to look up all the parts then make my descision wether im going to keep it or not. do you know any websistes that could help?

www.car-part.com will let you search wrecker databases across the country for most major parts. biggest expense is transmission and axles. the rest can be pulled from local yards for cheap
