In this video I will explain how to swap your car's automatic transmission with a manual trans. I will go over all the parts you will need, how to wire the clutch pedal, and a break down on some of the mods that you will need to do.
Big shout out to Z1. I have picked up about 60% of all the parts I have needed to do the swap from them. z1motorsports.com/

Hell yeah! I'm happy my video helped motivate you. Take the swap one step at a time and before you know it you will be clutch kicking into the corners lol. If you get stuck with something hit me up. GOOD LUCK!

@@Prolbuildsi have a question I started my swap and about to start rewiring. I’m using the automatic wiring harness but swapping the bcm would I have to repin a wire to 114 or do I have to splice into pin 140?

@Prolbuilds 4 күн бұрын

If you're using a manual BCM you would do pin 114, just a friendly heads-up I'm sure you're aware of, if you swap the BCM you will need to program the key.

It was a good explanation to make it look like a stock mt vehicle But I want to drive right away, so I'm going to use the A/T harness to connect only the reverse switch and the clutch switch to the starter relay wiring cant wait to drive it 😂

Can I buy a 2011 370z engine from a manual transmission car and use it as a replacement for my auto 2008 g37 sport or would it need modifications aware of pilot bushing any info is appreciated

@Prolbuilds 16 күн бұрын

Yes, you should be able to do this. I used a 2013 370z engine in the 2009 g37. The only problem I ran into was the coolant reservoir was different. Everything else was the same. I hope this helps.

Would this work for a sedan? Does the coupe driveshaft work or do I need to get a g35 sedan shaft?

Hello Armando, as for all the electronics is it all the same for the G35 as it is for the G37??

@Prolbuilds 13 күн бұрын

That's a good question, I believe you would need to do about the same amount of wiring. But I haven't manual swapped a G35, so I'm not 100% sure. Let me do some research and I'll get back with you.

would this be the same as for manual swapping a q50?

You would need about the same type of parts. But the wiring would be different. Manual swapping a q50 would be a cool project, do you have the 3.0 or 3.7?

yeah, I fixed this problem by adding a bolt in the top of the pedal. We own a 370z manual and I copied what the factory did. This seems to have fixed the flex. 2:44 into this video I talk about it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9KlgdGqv62aoHU.htmlsi=_dtxHJdQyqHya2w4

@@Prolbuilds great, if you don't have any flex, then my RJM clutch pedal with Tilton clutch master should not have any, since its mounted from the inside and pushes against the sidewall with adapter plate its mounted to rather then pulling sidewall with two bolts from the outside like oem does, right? Also got the manual engine harness, but not planning on taking out the motor, is it doable to swap it in the engine bay? The way I see it, it will be much easier just to use tcm connector and swap pin 140 to 114 on my manual bcm.

@Prolbuilds 9 күн бұрын

The RJM pedal is a nice setup! It's on our bucket list for the G35. You shouldn't have any problems. I would say it's easier leaving the engine and just swapping the trans. I would have done it this way if the engine wasn't blown, lol. Along the back of the fire wall, it's a tight fit, but doable. What clutch setup are you going to use? By the selection of parts, you have listed sounds like a pretty cool build!

Hey so I use manual harness and auto ecu n bcm what pin do I use 140 or 114 ? On the bcm

@Prolbuilds 2 ай бұрын

If you use the auto ecu and bcm. The pin would be 140, even if you change the harness. The automatic ecu and bcm are still programed to see a signal from pin 140 so the car can start. If you swap out the ecu and bcm (manual) use pin 114. because the ecu and bcm are looking for the signal from that pin to start the car. I hope this helps
