Gearbox

[Willz]

Does anyone know how much it cost to convert a 260z auto to a manual?

and is it easy... I'm looking to buy a 260z and all the good examples seem to be auto!

easy conversion, cost is a gearbox, pedals, clutch, flywheel, spigot bush, and your time to install.

 

I have manual pedals if required, no gearbox though.

Thanks mate,

 

Also, are the front kits i see on so may z'ds easy to get ahold of?

second hand gear box - $300 (reco around $700)

new clutch - $170

second hand pedals - $100

second hand master and slave cly - $60

second hand flywheel - $30

 

so perhaps $700 in parts. you may have to pay a bit more than that if you go to a zed wreckers, try and sounce out someone privately wrecking and you could do a bit better, although the manual converseion bits are pretty quick to go. the manual pedals were one of the first things I sold off mine.

 

for the record, i think about 70% of the 260Z's sold in Oz were auto
