For the hardware, you need to find not only the transmission, but also the clutch pedal, lines, clutch fluid reservoir, and something you probably don鈥檛 even imagine: a new driveshaft. Why? Because the auto and manual transmission are different at the rear end and each has its own driveshaft. Of course you can always cut the driveshaft front end and replace it with the correct one, but that is only if you are able to find that one part which is not sold alone.
For the software (yes that too), you need to trick the ECU into thinking you are in Park or Neutral in order to be able to turn ON the engine. There is some hard wiring necessary for this or you can replace the ECU all together for a manual transmission ECU.
I helped doing this swap on a 94 Twin Turbo and it was very hard, but the result was very nice and since we did the hard wiring, we left it so you can turn ON the engine without using the clutch.
Just on the side note, the Automatic Transmission for the NA (non turbo model) is very bad and tends to fail after 40 to 50K miles if you don鈥檛 take care of it. The manual is much better and you only have to worry about the clutch on the TT, but for the NA, you should be just fine.
Good luck.|||do you know if i could do that for a 1988 300zx non-turbo?
