Ok so i have already searched this question on the website and got some mixed answers.:stupid: I want to know if the automatic starter i have in my 74 260z will work with the new 5 speed im swapping in. I've read a couple threads where people put in new starters in their swap but i have also read that some people don't change it and their car runs fine. (both on this web site) Please help, this is the last peice I need before i can start the swap and im trying to get this done before my next semester of school starts LOL

Your existing starter will work fine.
I believe this is true.

In the early years, the different transmissions had a different starter because the mounting angle on the automatic bell housing was different than the manual transmissions. The solenoid on one of the starters was in the was in the wrong place for one of the applications. In the mid-70s Nissan changed and started using the automatic starters on all cars. IIRC, the early auto starters will fit the manual transmission, but not the other way 'round.
