1UZ-FE VVTI V8 to CD009 6-Speed Manual Transmission Conversion Kit

The Collins Performance Technologies Lexus GS400 1UZ-FE VVTI V8 to CD009 6-speed manual transmission conversion kit provides a comprehensive solution for mating the robust 1UZ-FE and 3UZ-FE V8 engines with popular Nissan CD009-based transmissions, specifically the 350Z (CD001-CD009), 350ZHR (JK40 Series), and 370Z (JK40 Series). This kit leverages the factory 'U1' automatic bell housing found on A350E and A650 automatic transmissions (model years 1991-2006), which are readily available in the used parts market. The design eliminates the need for extensive modifications such as cutting the firewall or machining the transmission bell housing, ensuring a more straightforward installation process. Key components included in the base kit are the A340 adapter plate, an input shaft seal, an A340 bolt kit, and an A340 pilot bearing adapter. Customers will need to supply their own clutch pedal assembly and master cylinder, though a compatible master cylinder is recommended. This conversion allows enthusiasts to pair the powerful Lexus V8 engines with the reliable and desirable 6-speed manual transmissions from the Nissan 350Z and 370Z, opening up new possibilities for performance and driving dynamics.
