Datsonnyboi Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So I currently have a Chevy 350 small block 1998 4 bolt vortec motor with a carburetor. I bought the 240z like this with 3 speed automatic transmission. I am not sure what transmission it is, but I've had the car for a year and I'm ready for a manual transmission swap. I just want to be able to daily drive the car and be able go on the highway. What manual transmission will be able to fit in the Z. I've seen other forums, but they don't have the information I need. This is going to be my first transmission swap. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted Friday at 01:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:08 AM well, there are a few things to figure out. Are you going to have a hydraulic clutch or just a normal cable clutch? The Tremec transmissions are really nice and I recommend those. Mike Forte at Forte's Parts Connection in Massachusetts is a real good guy and could set you up with a complete kit. You will need an engine flex plate, a flywheel, flywheel bolts, a clutch kit with throw-out bearing and sleeve, a transmission, A shifter, shift boot and shift knob, A transmission mount, and a U joint to attach to a shortened driveshaft. JTR (Jags that run), has all of this figured out, and you really just need to call them and get the skinny on what to do. Lastly, you will need to be able to hook up your speedometer to the trans, so ask about that as well.
