I read just about every post on the forum. What happened to the dealer that was going to trade you even up (03 AT Z Christmas present for 03 6spd) for your Z?

Trading makes a hell of a lot more sense, imo.

Good luck!

An honest question deserves an honest answer, we don't need sarcastic *******s in here. We're all love Z's here, not need to hate. This is what ruins a forum.

Anyways...Yeah bro it's not worth it. Better to sell and rebuy another Z.
Too many parts too list and I can see someone started listing some.

You're just asking for trouble doing a tranny swap. Especially doing it by your self (unless you're a professional, of course... but then why would you be asking us about parts...) Anyway, I bet you'll spend just as much money on that swap as you would on a new Z. My $0.02.

If you have to ask what parts you need, odds are you won't be able to do the swap, it's not as simple as you may think

engine ecu (not positive on tranny ecu)~clutch pedal assembly~neutral safety switch~

there's prob lots more, but i think it would be better to just buy one already made for you. .unless your doing this as a project i don't think it's worth it. .
