cost of a 5 speed swap parts alone

Post by **senioritis** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 9:52 am

i found a junk yard that had like 8+ good salvagable 95 + 240sx and i asked them for a 5 speed changeover but they said 1000 bucks for it. man what do you think is a good price for the whole change over including the trans? so i can try to bargain with them.

You could piece it together for $500-700...probably easier to talk them down to ~$800 and get is all from one car.

its better to just trade your car for a stick =X but yea around $800ish maybe a little less if you get lucky

iunno where u guys get these prices, around here (Bay Area, California), i've seen whole 5speed swap "kits" for like $300, now, yes, they were used by other nissan inthusiasts, but hell it's way cheaper than $800

lol yeah... sadly socal doesnt have too many good 240's around here available to buy. 300 dollars?!?! wow

Post by **azncorruptedo17** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 11:53 pm

shieet...

if i had a vert stick, f that... thats gonna be a straight out pimp car...

i want a coupe, trading for my fast back, i want a freaking coupe/vert stick! any traders?

shooot... 125k miles *just hit today* for your coupe/vert...

=P but $300 wow? usually, transmission alone is about i think 200? maybe a little less, i haven't actually looked into buying a transmission only =X

I sold most of the parts for like $200 or less. Prices are high because people have something up their butt when they go to sell their used decade old crap. I just don't care that much, now somebody else can enjoy a m/t.

Post by **nab911** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 11:38 am

transmission, $100, pedals - 40-50, ss lines, 50, master c, 50 so thats $250 give or take.

5 speed swap = can put ina better clutch and **** in without all the hassle

Post by **nab911** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 1:31 pm

Yeah, i planned on usign this as the time to put in a lightweight flywheel and strong clutch.

thanks for the replies =)

also, i suggest checking the classifieds on this site.you'll definitely be able to find parts on there for very low prices.

Post by **senioritis** » Tue Feb 15, 2005 8:00 pm

i don't really have time to do that and just want to get it all from one car... but yeah 1000 is definately a lot. but then again dey do have to take all the parts out. but still ill offer them 500 max. thanks guys

well if you found a true junkyard then suck it up and strip the parts yourself... tell them 500 and you'll pull the parts...

Post by **slydin'240** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:58 am

I just bought the swap parts here out of a junkyard for the S13 for $375 I pulled them. Here's what I got:Trans AssyECUCrossmemberWiring HarnessBrake PedelClutch PedelTrans Mount (but ordered NISMO)Clutch Assy (but ordered new)StarterHard LinesMaster CylinderDriveshaft

During the swap I also replaced both front and rear trans seals, rear main crank seal, and resurfaced flywheel.After everything I probally got about $700 in the swap including new parts.

here in tampa bay floriday its outragous!4 get junk yards 4 a 5 speed cuz it would b like winning the lotto! those places usually have parts pullers that get all the good $h!t! the cheapest 5 speed round here is $450-500 jus 4 the transmission used!+ all the other nick-nacks around $300-500! Theres this nissan speshalest here XAT Racing wants $1600 cuz the nick-nacks r all new! If any1 n mid-florida has a 5 speed swap 4 less than $1000 Ial bye it!

on my s13 swap with an ACT 6 puck clutch and some really great condition parts. i didnt break the 600 dollar budget. everythign works great...but i stil lneed a steel braided line. soft line to the sc balloons

Post by **s14_240sx** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 5:15 pm

I swapped the auto in my 96 for $300. That was the cost of the driveshaft (which will be a real ***** to find cuz u can't use the s13 one, and the s14 abs and non abs are different), speed sensor, master and pedals (S14 different than s13)

Then i bought a real ****box of a s13 240 for $200, stripped the manual parts and sold it to a freind for $200.

So yea there are ways to do it cheap, (This being from a canadian where fully rusted out s13 240 will still sell for $1500)

I HAVE A S13 THAT I AM CURRENTLY SWAPPIN THE AUTO FOR AMANUAL. I FOUND THE transmission ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR 300 INCLUDING PEDALS HARD LINES BACKING PLATE WIRING AND ECU. I BOUGHT THE SLAVE CYL MASTER CYL AND OEM FLYWHEEL FOR ANOTHER 100 NEW FROM O'RILEYS. I FOUND THE CENTER CONSOLE AND ENTIRE SHIFT HOUSING AT A LOCAL JUNKYARD FOR 20.00. (THAY HAD THE ENTIRE MANUAL SWAP THERE) MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS LOCATING MISC. NUTS & BOLTS FOR THE FLYWHEEL & SHIFETR HOUSING. I BOUGHT NEW CLUTCH OFF OF EBAY FOR 100 AND NISMO transmission MOUNT FOR 50. THIS SHOULD LAST ME UNTIL I FIGURE OUT IF I WANT TO DO A SR/RB SWAP OR TURBO MY KA

youll have to get those bolts and nuts specifically from a nissan parts dealer. and yeah guys, turn off the caps lock, it hurts to read, lol.

Post by **Chaotic_Warlord** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 6:14 am

Im about to do the swap myself in my 95 240 and I can't find a clutch pedal assembly anywhere. Any of you have any ideas.

Post by **maroon240** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 12:03 pm

question about the abs drive shaft, is the abs drive shaft shorter or longer cuz, my car i bought for this guy has abs but he stuck a s14 engine and i dont know if it has the s14 drive shaft or the s13 but when i was looking at it it was hanging way past the transmission sprocket or what ever it's called.
