Bolts for 5spd swap?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm in the middle of doing a 5spd swap on a '91 240sx. I've read the howtos and they mention the flywheel bolts are longer. The factory service manual also shows that the bolts connecting the transmission to the engine are longer on the manual versus the auto. None of the howtos refer to getting replacement bolts for these ones. Is it possible to reuse the old ones?

its been awhile since i did a 5spd swap. but you can reuse about 4(i think) of the short bolts. the rest will have to be changed. i can't remember if it was the top half or bottom set of bolts.
for sure you will need new starter bolts.

Sumbitches were 6.75 each at the dealer here, the only one out of the 3 in the area that actually had them

Cheapest way to acquire these bolts: Everytime you put a clutch in someone's car you keep one or two of their's. Eventually you'll have a full set. I never put the top two back in anyway.

Yeah seriously, how the heck are you supposed to remove the very top bolt? My auto transmission did not have one on it.
