My guess is that you have a 98-00 GS300.
I just did this conversion recently. So it is possible.

I have a 2005 with this transmission and I used it a few times the first week I owned the car and have never used it since. Save your money and time.

I understand where you're coming from you know when I'm just Neo daily driving it I'll put it in like normal drive but you know when someone can moms Honda pulls up beside of you know slap that into manual and give them the business and when I take it to my local track you know be able to manage my RPMs so I take it sideways ain't shifting up in the next gear when I wanted to stay in one gear

And also if I can't find one it's easy enough to do I'll take my chances and take a cs300 transmission and retrofitted I already know I got to bypass some of the sensors cuz if car won't know what the heck's going on with the transmission plus I got to bypass the park sensor so it make sure it's always in park because the car won't crank if it doesn't I'll just hoping I could probably fit like a next-gen GS300 transmission that has the stick shift option for the automatic transmission we just slap it over into manual mode and just hit up once shifter gear hit down once the shift gear

If you're going to swap the entire transmission, just do a Nissan CD009 6-speed. SerialNine has already done the groundwork for the swap and made a slick billet shifter for it.

FWIW, a GS300 is still going to get smoked by just about anything remotely sporty from the past decade, road or track.

LOL...you do realize the manual mode doesn't let you keep it in first gear right?
