    You should be able to wire the clutch pedal to the neutral safety switch relay (from the auto trans) if you do that the manual Ecu should work without needing the whole harness

      Fax, I started watching around that time too and now my car is manual swapped, engine rebuilt, and it’s on bags. But back then I was like “this wish car is cool af” and honestly those videos helped me understand that you just gotta have fun and doing those small cheap things helps you learn about the real deal and that you don’t even actually have to buy expensive things, sometimes the cheaper parts actually work really well

    You don't need to worry about the manual harness as long as you've got the manual ecu, Nissan ran them as 2 separate ecosystems (ecu and tcu) so if you run the manual ecu it has no idea that an auto box ever existed, the engine loom itself is the same, just unplug the auto ecu and In the engine bay there will be a plug with 2 wires that need to be shorted as its the park/neutral starter inhibit, all 90s nissans were wired pretty much the same.

      I've driven both kinds of transmissions and for daily driving automatic is easier than a manual transmission. It also makes your driving more relaxed, manual transmissions have their place but automatic transmissions are perfectly usable. For context I live in Europe where more than 50% of cars on the road have a manual transmission and my car is an EV...

    Robbie, pull the starter next time and unbolt the torque converter (donut) through the starter hole next time. To get to all the bolts just turn the engine over by the crank or spin the flywheel with a pry bar on the teeth. It won’t make a mess out of the front of the transmission anymore if you have to do any swaps ever again! And pull the pan and drain it next time lol!😆😂 love the videos man!

    Just some advice if there's a next time, disconnect the torque converter (donut, lol) from the flywheel before you drop it. You will not have to work around it when dropping it. Also, they will come out together so all of the fluid will not pour out of the converter. Unless you have a transmission jack, there is almost no way of not making a mess. You're still learning though, keep up the good work.
