Soop Dogg Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I've just asked this on the For Sale Section, but I thought I'd ask here too. I'm toying with the idea of converting my J-Spec Auto to a 6-Speed Manual. Exactly what are the parts I would need? So far I know I'd need the 'box, pedal box, ECU and a Clutch. Are there differences between the flywheels or Crankshaft ends etc? Any new info would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Surely you could sell your car, and buy a newer better condition J-spec manual for less than what it could cost to do the conversion. I asked about this when I was looking as there was a shortage of UK manuals about.. and they shot me down with similar advice Just seen the post behind your request.. for 1k + fitting I suppose it can be too bad in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 You need: Gearbox, flywheel, clutch Transmission sub-tunnel Interior trim panel, gearknob, selector, boot etc Pedal Box Clutch cylinder ECU All shafts - Propshaft, Driveshaft etc etc Differential And a fair bit of labour including modifying the crossmember, bits and bobs here and there.

Soop Dogg Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Thanks Gaz. I just thought I'd ask as it seemed unusual to see the gearbox and pedal box for sale on the same day as Terry S. put a 6-speed manual ECU up for sale. I guess I should have expected the different prop shaft, but I wasn't aware that the diff and driveshafts were different too. I thought it might be do-able as I think I would be pushed to find another Supe in the condition mine is in at a price I can afford just now. (Recent house purchase!)

You can use the diff but youll have 4500 revs in sixth @ 70mph! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 if u keep the diff u will still need 1 half of the drive shaft from a manual, if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
