it uses linkage but its vertical style linkage and the same length out approximatly.

 

or you can just buy an s15 trans

 

and rear diff with its speed sensoras well as the irregular clutch design with the sprung flywheel ..

 

would'nt it still be less hassle?

 

Good luck finding an S15 rear diff for cheap or at all.

 

S15 hlsd and rear pumpkin with sensors? I'll sell one. $800. And no, it's not alot.. I sold my previous one for $850.
So ya.. if you just want a six speed.. jump on Matt's VQ tranny.

The S15 6 spd is the same as a Miata 6spd and apparently is not as strong as the 5 spd small Nissan tranny.

The VQ 6spd is LARGE. From measurements it looks like I am going to have to bang out the tunnel a little bit on my S13 right where the dash suport bolts to the tunnel. Also the shifter location is WAY off. The transmission itself is about 1 inch shorter than the S13/S14 manual transmission but the cradle for the external shifter and linkage sticks back about 8-10 inches further. On my car I'm not very concerned about this because it's a race car and I will be sitting pretty far back along with moving pedals back and a big steering spacer.


Here's a pic of the tranny with measuring tape across the top.



That's 40 inches from bellhousing mating to tip of shifter cradle. Shifter comes up at about 39.5 and the stock tranny has the shifter at around 29-30 inches. Being an external linkage, you can certainly shorten it, but you can not get the shifter in the stock location unless you make a shifter relocator. PM me for an easy way to do that.
