Forget that no clutch manual BS... It's for those richie kids that wanna SAY they can drive standard cuz they can look at the gage and hit the stick one direction or another to shift. Half the talent is the control of the clutch and gas in the shifting (And if you're good enough the lack of using the clutch completely At least on the older cars you can pull off the clutchless shift...). And again I'll go on my control freak power trip GIMME A MANUAL LEMME AT'EM I'll TEAR a 3rd gen eclipse with the sportronic positronix BS I'll STOMP 'em with my REGULAR standard trans '03 Sentra ... Weak bazza's lol

true but i also heard that my motor with OHC is strong and more reliable over time then a DOHC have you found this to be true?
well your compairing a motor with 150HP with some mods to a motor that can make 300HP with mods you know. in my experience I have had better luck with the 4G63 though. my GS 3G blew up at 92000 miles and all I had was an intake, and I have seen a 1G with nearly 200k on it that ran high 12s a the track with 6-7K launches all the time. and a 2G with 135K on it. so it all depends

that doesn't happen all the time though. a guy from club3g has 200k on his 2000 GT. hes had it twin-turboed for 14k and its still running strong on the stock engine(he replaced the bearings, that was it).

It basically can't be done and isn't worth trying. If you wnat it that bad then get the 3rd gen chop the front off it and weld it to the *** of a 2nd gen.

it was never avialalbe untill the 3G came out. and the one in the 3G is 180 degrees from the 2G tranny so it wont work. beside that why do you want that tranny? it is terrible the steal too much power from your car they make the car shift like a honda its just pointless... stick with a 5spd other wise youll defeat the whole purpose of the GSX
