Bob, The hardest part to get would be the pedal assembly but I'm sure you can locate one easily enough. Once you do, it's just a matter of pulling the auto pedal box out and bolting the manual one in. I would say at the most outrageous you'd get slugged $200 for one. Maybe someone on the list has one or knows where to get one?
You can use practically any Datsun master & slave cylinders, = pretty cheap. Of course then you need a manual gearbox! The only other thing to do is modify the wiring loom to defeat the built in protection against starting in drive etc.. pretty simple. Hope this helps! - Tom -----Original Message----- From: Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 14 February 2002 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Auto to manual conversion - 260z Hello All, How involved is the conversion from an auto to a manual for a 260/240z? What sort of price can all the parts be sourced for to do the conversion? I recall someone saying that they were a fan of buying an auto and converting it to a manual as they generally havent been driven on the door handles as bad, is it worth the effort/cost? Asking because of this ad in the trading post: DATSUN 260Z 1976 silver coupe 2.6L, 78000kms, rare 2 seat auto model, suit restoration, sell unreg'd, service history, matching No's, 309FDC, fair condition, $3000 negotiable WATTLE GROVE 02-9731 1859 Sounds like the kind of car for me. Any help much appreciated. -- Best regards, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
