Gearbox

gearbox swapOriginally this 200sx was fitted with an Automatic Transmission. I purchased a standard 6 speed box that had no shifter or associated clutch components, finding just a gearstick was an impossible task so i ended up buying a second gearbox.

One of the local Brisbane wreckers had a one piece Apexi flywheel that they were happy to part company with, A new Apexi clutch and throw out bearing were purchased to go with the flywheel.

I was lucky enough to find a manual pedal set, master cylinder and slave cylinder on Ebay.  A new clutch line was manufactured rather than use the original item with built in damper. 

The guys at Road and Track performed the conversion.
