Message	I'm in the process of putting parts together for a auto>5spd conversion. Right now ive ordered a RPS sport street clutch, RPS flywheel, bronze shifter bushings, a SS clutch line, and chromoly pivot ball. If funds don't run out on me i will be upgrading the drive shaft as well but it seems every vendor has their own they offer. Just wondering who has experience with which ones and what you would recommend. Do i need a special drive shaft since i`m doing a auto>5spd conversion? Coz's Inland empire Z1 platinum Import parts pro Powetrain aluminum drive shaft These are the three i saw but didn't know which would be best. Would aluminum or steel be better? Besides what i already have now listed above...this is what i have on the list. Transmission Transmission mount (OEM or Nismo) Clutch Master Cylinder Slave Cylinder Used Metal Clutch Lines (3 lines, 1 bleeder valve, 1 junction box) Front Half of Stock DS or Upgraded Clutch Pedal Short shifter---silvertwin/woody Shifter Fork Two Rubber Shift Boots Nissan Shifter Brace red stitch Shift Boot Shift Boot retainer New red stitch Shift Knob if i can find on in stock 10 Transmission Bell Housing Bolts 8 5spd Flywheel Bolts 8 Pressure Plate Bolts with Washers 2 5spd Transmission to Engine Plates 5spd Alt to Transmission harness Rear main seal Downpipes Anything else i need or you would recommend? Also since im not installing the clutch booster which parts need to be NA spec? Thanks alot guys for the help and info on this site allowing me to be able to do this. I cant wait. Feel free to discuss pro's and con's of certain product or brands.
