Posted July 30, 200519 yr comment_132442 I just went and got a 5 speed tranny from a 1979 280zx. I know that I will need the flywheel, clutch kit, master cylinder, slave cylinder. I have a slave cylinder hose on its way. Do I need the starter and the driveshaft or can I just use the auto driveshaft. Any other things that I will need, please let me know. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/16740-auto-to-5-speed-swap-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 30, 200519 yr comment_132455 Get the drive shaft , you will need a pilot bearing . While you are right there replace the rear main seal . You can do it with out droping the pan , just get a seal puller , about $5.00 . This will save a lot of work later if the old one starts leaking .

July 30, 200519 yr comment_132471 Clutch and brake peddle assembly, manual trans consol, shifter knob... Plus you will have to wire around the neutral safety switch, and will probably have to run a wire with the correct connector for the reverse light switch which is on the tranny.

August 2, 200519 yr Author comment_132800 Thanks. That is what the assembly looks like that is already in my car it has the hook up for the spring on top and a threaded hole for the bolt that holds the clutch pedal, yeah mine looks exactly the same except for there is no clutch pedal arm . How about you just send the arm with the bolt and the round thing that goes around the bolt and the spring and I will send you 20.00. Thanks for the pics.

August 3, 200519 yr comment_132807 You'll need the whole assembly because, if memory serves me correctly, the a/t brake pedal is wider and would interfere with the clutch pedal.
