I'm almost positive the JUN built engine doesn't come with a transmission, also, you'll need a SR bellhousing at the very least, I would suggest the SR transmission as well. Those aren't very easy to find alone. Also, you'll need all the clutch components, the cylinders and all the lines, the pedals, brackets, assembly, manual driveshaft, engine backing plate, new transmission crossmember and bolts, shifter, console pieces for the shifter with the bezel and shift boot and everything, thats all I can remember off hand, theres probably more that you need that I can't remember. Enjoy your day.

Built JUN engines are extremely expensive, im not sure what the exact prices are but ive heard many rumors about them being well above 10000. Jun makes trannies if you want one of those. That'll probably run you another $8000 or so.

goto 240sx.org , the install page has a step by step auto to manual swap, and the parts list needed to complete the swap is included !

save yourself the headache and just buy a 5 speed 240. And please ricer guy, don't rice out the 240, especially if you are serious about a JUN engine.

peace

Or instead of doing just the manual swap go ahead with the sr Front clip, got every thing you need for the manual swap and its a lot cheaper then the JUN. A little research goes a long way :)
