Auto To Manual Conversion

[ZZZChris]

Hi everyone, New to the forum and new to the Z scene as well.

 

So, I have picked up a 260z 2+2 and its an auto, So I would like to do a Auto to manual conversion. The problem I face is that I can't seem to find a gearbox to buy to do the conversion, let alone a bellhousing to do a R32 gearbox swap. The other option that I have found is the Z33 conversion which would be alot easier to find a gearbox for, but its just alot more costly. 

Are standard manual gearbox hard to come by or is that i just haven't looked hard enough? Is there another option that doesn't require the standard gearbox for the bell housing?

 

Cheers

They're easy enough to come by once you get to know the z world a little better. Keep shopping around, perhaps put up a wanted ad on gumtree and on this forum. I have a brand new clutch and a used flywheel if you're interested?

Hey ZZZChris, I live on Earth. Perhaps a better location will help in your search. Are you chasing 4,5 or 6 speed?
