Hi, I currently live around Los Angeles. I was wondering if the 2005 Nissan 350z touring coupe automatic be converted to a manual transmission. If so, about how much will that be cost? Will the dealer be able to do things like this? thanks!

To put it in perspective the conversion would run around $15,000 to get it done correctly. You would need the following: Tranny, tranny mounts, shift linkages, shifter, console for inside the car to accept the shifter, ECU from a manual, COMPLETE engine/tranny wiring harness from the manual, clutch master cylinder, hydraulic lines, clutch pedal assembly, flywheel from the manual car, exhaust from the manual because the tranny is a little larger than the auto, and quite a bit of time. I have probably forgot some little parts, I just listed what I could remember off the top of my head. But the dealer would NOT even think of doing this.

No they will not convert a auto to manual. Because there are many parts you forget about like wiring clutch pedal and engine controls and computers that have to talk to each other. And worst of all the car is smogged with an automatic so your stuck shiftless in LA. Trade it in for a manual transmission car soon. Besides the New 350z has 307 HP and gets better gas milage.

A manual transmission isn't difficult to learn. The only tricky part is knowing the friction point, and how far to rev up. If you are a real car person, Get the manual. If you're kind of into cars, but don't think that you'd want to be shifting constantly, just go ahead for the automatic. Personally, I'd say go for the automatic unless you're gonna be racing, or enjoy cars enough to suffer through the constant shifting in traffic.

I feel your pain. There are way to many automatic 350z out and about. Thus making a true sport car into a wimpy coup. I want to do the same thing here in Indy. It is not a sport car with automatic or auto-shift transmission. Absolutely and abomination!

I agree with John Paul (as usual). You would be much better off just trading it in for a manual than attempting an auto to Manual conversion. Too expensive/risky.
