Gen1SEV6 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 First post here, new Pathfinder owner. I picked up my Pathfinder this summer and love the thing. 1993 SEV6 4x4 with 4 speed auto, stock with roof rack, tire swing and sliders. Now has 149k and great condition overall! The honeymoon had to end sometime. I started having issues with the AT and found this forum in my research. Wish I had done the research when I bought the rig and learned to baby the 4 speed auto and should have invested in an aftermarket trans cooler. So my AT is on the way out (not shifting to 4th at all) and I am planning a manual swap. I am finding a ton of info here on old posts - thanks to all who have posted! I'd really appreciate any suggestions if you've done the swap recently. I live in Oakland and don't have a garage or driveway. Any bay area members have recommendations/space/ want to help, give me a shout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hey Bud, I'm up in the North Bay (Santa Rosa), but I don't have a shop and already have 2 non-drivable Pathfinders in the driveway... so while I'm willing to help, you aren't worth a divorce. I haven't been active for a bit and don't know who has done one recently, but the info shouldn't have changed much. Look in the Garage section, maybe the SAS/HardKoor section? Anyway, welcome, learn to use the search tool, and feel free to ask new question. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen1SEV6 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hey Precise1, thanks for the reply! I've seen your posts in my research. I found Harbinger's MT swap particularly helpful and an interesting read. Anyway, I appreciate you getting back to me - good to meet someone on here in the area. Sounds like you have your own pathy projects and I wouldn't want mine to cause your divorce, lol. I haven't been on here for a while, but in the meantime I've collected just about everything I need for the swap. Definitely spent more on parts then I would have on a donor but without a garage or driveway the donor vehicle isn't an option. I'm going to start with pulling the dash and swapping the brake pedal with a MT brake pedal and install the clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder with hose. I don't have the dampener so I'm trying a dampener bypass with stainless brake hose right to the operation cylinder. I hope to do as much as I can curbside then take it to a local shop to drop the auto trans and install the manual trans I picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
