83 280zx Auto to Man trans swap.

3 I would say.... that if you have all the parts handy and you need extra hands too.
If you need pedals,cluth master,line,slave,plastic Coin trim,outer shifter boot,shifter plate and shifter knobe then I have them.

I need everything. My ZX is an auto and its boring the **** out of me. Any guess on a final price? And how does the clutch pedal mount? Will their need to be welding? Also will the Man/Trans bolt right up to everything?

The link didn't work. But I appreciate the thought. I gotta build up some cash and start dumpin it into me car lol.

All 4 of my z cars are manual, I'd like an auto zx. Maybe for my birthday.

if you are a fair wrench probably under 10 hours taking time to eat. tranny jack four jackstands a must. ratchet extensions to give you 2-3 feet big help. since I've done it a couple times i think I could do it in six hours. while there rear engine seal, new clutch plate, throwout bearing. clutch fork fulcrum pin (cheap and I had one shatter). Having a donor car or a handy junk yard good incase you forget anything. the whole pedal assembly cage will come out as a unit. much easier than trying to transfer pedals. Cost me around$3-350. Got lucky at the junkyard and everything was on a car I found.

Thats probably what I'll end up doing rodger. Hopefully I lucky.

This is the bitch. You have to replace the pedal housing from auto to manual. It bolts right in. The problem is I don't see how to do it without pulling the dash. I've been under there a couple times just to adjust the clutch rod, there is no room. Now if you could teach a 3 yr old to do it, he could easily squeeze in.

Otherwise, you add a clutch master cylinder. What I do not know is if the drive shaft is the same length or if it even has the same yoke.

You do have to remove the console to remove the shift lever.

you change out the brake pedal and the clutch assembly as a whole. four bolts that hold the brake master plus two small ones over to the side. disconnect the push rods. then you wiggle and cuss and suddenly it jumps out. Been a while but don't remember having to have the dash off. adjusting them is fun unless you take out the driver seat and lay a piece of plywood down. then lay on your back and look up.
