Manual to Automatic transmission Swap
My bad. It's late.
Gearbox
ECU
differential
drive shaft
auto cluster
shift linkage
brackets
You will also need a good idea of wiring to get it to work properly
Whether going from auto to manual or vice versa it is a much better idea to just sell and buy the car with the trans you want unless you are emotionally attached. It is way too much of a hassle doing the swap, plus it is costly and kills resale. A manual Z is highly sought after so you should have no problem selling and buying an auto. Hey, you may even come out ahead.

I couldn't have said it better. 
It tends to go the other way because owners want a stick shift that bad. I strongly recommend saving yourself the trouble and swapping out for a Z that already has one.

Hey guys, I really need some help here. This isn't my first language so I don't even know how to make a good research for my issue.
I have a 2003 Z (vq35de) with bad tranny, I just bought a 2008 transmission and I'm trying to figure if it fits.
Really appreciate your help.
