VK45DE Manual Transmission

[speed_addict]

When i first heard that i cannot use MT from the VQ35DE i felt hopless . And i said the only way is to make ls engine swap with its transmission. But when I heard that i can use MT of VQ40DE , VQ35HR or VQ37VHR; because they have similar bellhousing . i Said finally i can fit a manual transmission rather than the stock automatic transmission.

[speed_addict]

So my question is can i fit MT of VQ40DE , VQ35HR or VQ37VHR. if i can, what ineed to do?

No. No manual trans will bolt directly to any VK engine.

Thats the problem that everyone says there are no manual transmission can be fitted to the VK45De and VK56DE. But i saw the VQ40DE bellhousing which is the same bellhousing and bolts of VK56DE and VK45DE.

No, it's not. I've had both engines side by side. You obviously didn't measure anything.

Here on Nico? I've searched but never saw a kit like that off the shelf. I know there was some discussions also on Hybridz but I don't think someone produce a kit.

Please if you have more infos about this kit, let us know.
