i think theres a buncha threads on this if you search a little more, but lets see...if your gonna do a 5 speed conversion on the KA24, the main things that youll need is a 5 speed transmission (clutch and flywheel if it doesnt come with it), a manual gauge, an ECU fromm a manual (i think), a stick shift + shift boot + shift knob, a clutch peddle and all the fluids that'll be needed (clutch fluid and transmission fluid)...correct me if im missing anything else. If your gonna do it at any autoshop, its gonna cost you a grip because autoshops can rip you off like that.
I cant really tell you how much ittle be because price may vary. If yout hink about it, autoshops will charge you atleast $600 for a manual transmission. A clutch will be atleast $300...you do the math.
If i were you, i would either...:
1. Look around, make friends, do a lot of research and find people who can give you a hook up on the conversion for cheap.
2. do it yourself. go to junk yards/ebay/craigslist and gather up all these parts. you can find a tranny for like $200. (the cheapest ive seen was $150)
3. Do an SR20 swap and buy a front clip. (front clip includes EVERYTHING youll need to do a manual conversion....PLUS an awesome engine) it'll cost you atleast $2400. but worth every penny.
last but not least 4. be patient and wait for a manual 240sx. 5 speed conversion is too much of a hassle IMO.
well, good luck man. Welcome to the zilvia world.
