Ill go ahead and post some since I have some time at home this afternoon. Took my parents out for lunch for V-Day.

Saturday I went and got the transmission and other parts I need for the swap. I got the pilot bushings swapped, replaced rear main seal on my motor, swapped tranny brackets on motor, mock mounted the trans to see how it fits (it fits good! ), then we got the clutch pedal located and started drilling holes for master cylinder.

Here is the dirty trans


Yah the 300zx had a bad rear main seal


J30 lower brackets aren't going to work






This is the best I can do for now with simple green and air wire brush




300zx lower brackets installed. The bottom bolt holes are threaded for the manual trans and the J30 brackets are not threaded and holes are slightly off.


Took out the auto trans pilot bushing


Auto pilot bushing (yah it cut it to get it out) vs manual pilot bushing


Cutting bolts that stripped on rear half of driveshaft


Inside view of there master cylinder comes through firewall to mount to pedal
