Hey guys, it's been a while. I vanished in 2017, manual swapped my car in 2018, and finally gathered the motivation to cut it all down into a video to share with all of you in 2020. If you have any questions about the swap, definitely comment below! I'd love to get a conversation going with all of you.

I’m putting the plan together for the swap but life stuff has made me look for someone to do the majority of the work... but now that I see the benefits of pulling the engine, maybe I should just do it and take my time. In most SC400 manual swap videos I’ve seen they drop the transmission and use a 350z 6 speed. Working under a car isn’t fun... that being said, how much more time was spent pulling the motor vs dropping the transmission only. (If you know..?) Also, in your educated opinion, what are the pros/cons of the 240 5 speed vs the Z 6 speed. I think the 6 speed shifter ends up back by your elbow and 5 speed lines up perfectly..but the Z 6 speed seems like it’s a stronger unit. That, and having a 6th gear is more desirable. I’ll wait to see your next video on the cons of the 5speed but any other input you have would be much appreciated. Awesome channel dude. Waiting for the next video is as painful as waiting for the next ‘Grand Tour’ episode.. haha
@2AMcars
@2AMcars 3 жыл бұрын
hi! I think it is definitely faster to drop the trans but Stephen pulled the motor to do a bunch of other work to it. I think the motor was out of the car within a day, and it was put back in within a day. 240 5 speed from what i know shifts smoother, and the shifter hole lines up perfectly. The 6 speed is much stronger and can hold more torque (hence why i said i blew up a transmission already). Whichever route you go, i am sure you will like it!
