Phyte Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Sorry guys, I'd search if I could. Whats envolved in swapping in a 5speed? I know the pedals will swap out with my auto brake pedal, I just don't know if the cross members or drive shaft will need work. Is it a bolt in swap with pedals, master/slave hydrolics, and T-5? Since I'm eventually going with an L28et, is the later 280z 5 speed choice, or should I just start with a 5 speed from an 82-83 zx? Thanks Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZRNR Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I did the auto to 5 speed in my 78. There was a spot in my pedal box for the clutch pedal so I went to a salvage yard and got the full brake & clutch pedals, springs & clips. You will need the master/slave & tubing to plumb the clutch. Also, flywheel & clutch. The same mounts fit and even the driveshaft can be used. Your rear end ratio will determine which trans you should go with. I started out with a 78 5 speed but the syncro's were worn..lack of fluid changes! Went to a 81 NA 5 speed and the car was a slug with the 3.54 gear. Installed the 3.90 and the car was very nice to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy678us Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hey Phyte, I need the center console automatic trim piece for my 260 (has P-R-N-D selector and 4 screw holes). Going from a standard to 4 speed OD auto. Is it in good condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
