Quick question on sr20 swap

[Danimal]

If i bought a 240 that was auto would there be any extra modification i would have to do to make the manual sr20 fit and run? Is there anything that has to be done to the rear end or such?

the tranny is in the front yo. nothing needed for the rear.

talk to krazy91 he and I are doing the swap right now.
(5spd SR into Auto s13)

its nothing to serious. you have to drill a few holes in the firewall and mount all the 5 speed components (slave cylinder, pedals, lines, shifter/boot etc
if you don't get a clip you can get the parts from a junkyard.
best bet would be to get a clip so you get everything to install the manual tranny.

just checkin becuz for some reason my dad said that something might have to be done to the rear end which didnt seem right so i thought id double check.

You will need a clip there is quite a few little things you'll need from the 5 speed clip to put into your car. The firewall drilling holes are easy, you put 2 small bolt sized ones and another about 1 inch in diameter for the clutch. The only real hardpart is the wiring it seems to be a bit different. But Im working on figuring it out as we speak. You can use all the JDM pedals too like the clutch and gas except the brake one because it is curved the opposite way and runs into the steering column. Theres a few more things Im pretty sure I just cant remember at the moment.

I have msn messenger AlexPaquette240@hotmail.com Im on there if you need fast answers.


Oh ya nothing done to rear end might need a standard 240sx driveshaft though Im pretty sure you do.. we'll see when I put the engine in this weekend.

Yeah I think you need a manual drive shaft. About half the engines people buy have come with SR driveshafts.

A manual driveshaft is needed. If the automatic differential had different gears or something like that you would need to swap it, but the auto differential will work fine.

PS the wiring for the main engine harness is the same as the manual, just the transmission wiring has to have some stuff done to it. A lot of stuff is posted on the net about this.
