IMO, its just not worth it. why dont you trade it in for a stick, its worth a shot to see what kind of deal you can get

I would like to, but thats why its being givin to me! its only one year into the lease and im in the hole!!! i figure if its relativly cheep 2-3k id think of doing the conversion!

Well, have you driven it? I love :wub: my 5AT, use the manual mode all the time! Then, if I have to take a call, slap the stick over to auto and boom, you are good to go! Stock 6MT, stock 5AT you would be surprised how even the numbers would be given the same controls (driver, course, weather etc)...just a thought. :dunno: What ever floats your boat tho, it's all about how you want your Z to be, although I've never heard of anyone doing the swap yet in my carousing thru the forums.....Good Luck and :welcome: Stick around! You will have fun and learn a lot here!!! :wavey:

This topic has been discussed before. THe conversion requires swapping a lot more than just the tranny. As long as you have that Z, you're stuck with a 5AT

Speak of the Devil DiRN I thought you were MIA :wavey:

First time here in 3 days. I'll go days without Tech a lot this month. Work sucks

 

[lukytry]

Thanks for the input and welcome!! the car is excelent, i love it! i was thinking with a possabilty of boost a stick would have been nice...hows the tranny for 7-8 psi?

 

[JTS2005]

its great for 7-8 psi!! i would say buy a TT kit or SC instead of converting it to a manual

 

[lukytry]

Seems to make more sence... Guess ill hang out in the boost forum

 

[JTS2005]

check out the APS single or TT kit, peter the developer is in there a lot!!

****, if you're going to do that, you might as well go for this.

 

[lukytry]

this seems like a tiptronic of some sort? how would this work in coraltion with the stock tiptroinc i have now?

 

[smoothz]

Well, if you keep the AT and install this kit, you'll be able to switch to manual mode and shift on the steering wheel instead of using your hand down at the shift knob.

Still does not have the same effect..as slaming in nerul and throwing some revs down and dumping the clutch at 4k and letting go!! i would never spend 1800 just to shift at my steering wheel!

Well then, I suggest following jinxxy's advise and drive the auto for a while, see how you like it, maybe take it as far as the warranty life, then go ahead and switch to manual if you still want to. I know that you'd have to do a major overhaul of the entire system, but keep in mind that if you ever want to sell it, autos seem to have a better resale value to commuters.
