Nissan 300ZX Auto to Manual Conversion Part 3: Clutch Pedal, Transmission Wiring, Clutch & Flywheel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2022
- In this episode I install the clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder, and figure out routing for the hydraulic line. I also get my flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch installed. I pulled out the automatic transmission and alternator wiring harness and replace it with an OEM manual transmission one.

Watched this video like 20 times while doing my manual swap, this video and your whole 300zx playlist is a life saver.
The fact that you got that transmission out alone puts you in the top 10% of mechanics, it took me and my buddy like a month worth of work to drop the transmission and I’m not even including removing the exhaust, starter and drive shaft.
Thanks man, I'm so glad to hear I can help. The fact that you're pulling your own transmission is awesome man, keep up the good work 👍
You're welcome on the dust plate =P
It’s very satisfying to watch someone take apart 30 yr old parts. I relocated my PTU this past weekend and had the same feeling 😂
16:50 that little plate surrounded by seam slealer just chizzles out and already has the correct holes pre-drilled from factory for the bolts and the master cylinder. Luckily you had long bolts so you made it work
Oh interesting, probably would have been easier just to take that plate off then.
@@noboltsleftbehind I have mine hanging as a souvenir of the Auto days
I really appreciate you taking out the time filming the work I'm doing a manual swap on mine off of a donor car that I bought and your videos are amazing
Thanks, glad I could help!
If you have an email address I would love to show you my progress. I think today is rear subframe. I want to replace all the bushings
@@staviencounts1353 I’d love to check it out, do you have an instagram? You can message me on there instagram.com/noboltsleftbehind
@@staviencounts1353 yeah I'd love to check it out, hit me up on instagram @ instagram.com/noboltsleftbehind
man i love seeing a 300zx build. im enjoying every episode so far :)
Love these videos, always looking forward to the next one.
Yes! Almost can't wait!
Awesome progress! I just removed the exhaust and driveshaft for my Z yesterday. Now's the fun part: removing the 5 speed.
Thanks man, good luck on your transmission removal! Swivel socket extensions are your friend.
@@noboltsleftbehind I literally just finished now. My very first time removing a transmission from a front engine, RWD car. What an experience. It took me 2 days, doing it on and off.
Yes, swivel socket 14mm for the top 4 bolts of the transmission, 36" of 3/8 wobble sockets, and 3 separate trips to Harbor Freight 😂😂 Harbor Freight is your friend!!
Now I gotta order the LOJ swap kit. Hopefully removing the engine is easier without the transmission
Subscribed. Good to watch someone else going through the same pain. Even though Im way behind on this build. Im just now getting my built engine back and attaching all the bolt ons to it. Hoping to have all the parts together by next spring for the na to tt swap as well as auto to 5sp. Keep up the good work.
Thank you sir! Hopefully my videos can help give you a heads up on some of the problems you might run into. I'm interested to hear how your twin turbo swap goes.
I appreciate the update 👍
Its coming along nice ! I just bought a 2018 civic type R. My first performance oriented car. so excited to work on it. I love the JDM scene, very different then classic muscle car scene. I love both tho.
Congrats on the new Type R man! Those things are awesome. Same with me, I’m just about anything with four wheels. Two wheels also. Haha.
I love jdm cars but damn is the jdm scene straight cancer. I own a z32 and restored it and every time I take it anywhere the amount of kids who ask me when I’m gonna slam it and put stance wheels on it or what I’m gonna swap into it.
Like bro I spent 2 weeks and $1k to get this engine in almost perfect condition I’m not gonna throw it out and swap in an LS until the motor blows.
Hi, been loving the vids mostly because ive been having near identical issues with my Z (the hatch latch, the security system beeping when you remove the key etc) but im having trouble with my auto trans and i think i also lost 3rd and 4th gear and im planning my swap very soon. My question is how fast were you able to go when you lost 3rd and 4th because my Z caps at 40mph and feels like it doesnt want to shift. im just curious if 2nd gear is capable of going faster than 40mph
Sounds about the same as mine, around 40 was the max. It also had trouble accelerating from a stop, I had to manually put it into 1st otherwise it was stuck in 2nd.
@@noboltsleftbehind yup, same situation for me. Thanks for replying, I will definitely be looking forward to your new videos
Having trouble locating the clutch sensor wires. What did Yu take off or replace ?
It’s a switch right on your clutch pedal, it will turn on/off as you press and release the pedal. I had to add my own wires for it, I don’t think an automatic car will have them. I crimped spade connectors to plug into the switch itself
Hey Barry, do you remember how many bolts keep the auto transmission attached? It seems to be stuck at the top for me.
I don’t remember exactly how many, but there are certainly two at the very top you’ll need to unbolt. I reached them by tilting the engine down a bit and using a bunch of socket extensions to reach from the tailshaft. A couple wobble extensions in the middle help a lot too.
@@noboltsleftbehind yeah figured there were two more at the very top. Time to get flexible.
Hey I saw in one of your videos not too long ago while you were driving there was a pretty noticeable squeaking noise. My Z has the exact same problem, did you ever figure it out?
Is it a squeak that seems to come from the car shaking and moving while driving? If so, it's still there and been driving me crazy lol. Seems to come and go. Let me know if you figure it out, I'll do the same.
@@noboltsleftbehind Yeah it comes and goes. Happens while driving and going over bumps etc. It' super annoying and haven't found anyone with the solution.
Why do you need the alternator harness changed?
The alternator and transmission wiring are combined into one harness, so to keep the wiring factory you need to replace the whole thing. The starter wiring is part of the harness too.
you used the ECU that was in the car correct? No issues?
Yes, still using the original auto ECU and it seems fine
Are your race ramps cribs 10 or 12 inch high?
12 inches
@@noboltsleftbehind thanks, I have 97 NA manual jdm in New Zealand i have leaking oil from rear main or gearbox so helpful videos thanks especially seeing how to undo the 2 top bolts, I only have 10 inch race ramps tho lol damn
@@sabertown1653 Oh cool, a '97, ours stopped at '96 over here. I'm jealous of all the JDM cars you guys get over there. Are they hard to import?
@@noboltsleftbehind bonus of my 97 talking to Nick at CZP he could tell from the vin it has factory '98 spec box also had factory jspec front bumper.
When they became over 20 years old they flooded in, I had 1 of 3 convertibles in NZ now over 12.
You can still bring them in but compliance places getting tough as the government doesn't really want them on the roads due to emissions...
NZ had been a dumping ground for all sorts of JDM cars so we have heaps of variety lol Zs about the only ones that haven't gone up heaps in value, probably as they suck to work on!
Won't cranck
