I have a 85t GLL auto that I plan to swap to manual and I have a few questions, not about the swap itself but interchangability of some parts. I plan to do a Vg33 swap in the next few weeks so figured I might as well make the manual swap at the same time. Problem is sourcing local parts. I can't find any z31s. Since I'm getting the vg33 out of a pathfinder I also planned to snatch the pathys bellhousing so I could run a z32 tranny… would it be possible to use the master cylinder, slave cylinder, or any other critical parts needed for the manual swap from the pathy or the z32? I plan on a jy run next week and would like to get as much as possible done at once.

I would just buy new one's for your Z31. A clutch master on Rock Auto is like $12-$15. Slave cylinder is $10. No reason to use junkyard parts when new ones are so cheap. The part you will likely have trouble with if you don't have a donor car is the hard lines that run from the master down to near the slave. Without those, hope you're good at bending hard lines.

I found a clutch pedal assembly from a 88 2+2 will it work in an 85 2seater?

I'll take that as a yes? In hindsight I assumed it would but wanted to make sure. Thanks

If I'm thinking correctly all the holes and things should already be there because the same firewall is used between auto/manual. Should be an easy job?
