WOW, not sure where you ever got the idea on your income (sounds low) to do a swap like that... you can get a different tranny for $300...

You might find one with less miles for a few dollars more...
What the heck are you thinking? LOL
Look around you. You're on a Nissan Versa forum LOL 🙄
It's a cheap economy car, one of the CHEAPEST economy cars and you obviously own one. You don't have any room to talk about "income", coming from the dude who's only presence on here is automotive pseudoscience, Walmart listings and useless Google searches in replies. Some of us don't need a search engine to have ideas.
Back to the topic at hand, swapping an automatic transmission to a manual (on a factory automatic vehicle) is difficult, but not unheard of or impossible. If she wants to tackle it then let her, people learn by doing. I know personally that
@Cali ViceVersa is more than capable of performing the job in question. "What she was thinking" is she loves her car and wishes to keep it, and simply wanted to know if other owners had already attempted the swap before. She knew beforehand what it would cost for a replacement 4A/T transmission for her 1st gen and most all of what would be needed, but that wasn't the route she wanted to go personally at the time.
Her transmission is fixed, so this thread is dead as of now.
...Some people are miserable and as they say "misery loves company"... and they aren't "happy" unless they are trying to make someone else miserable. I have a (now ex) wife that was like that.
IMHO, the concept of rotating tires is a means by which tire companies have brainwashed people into doing... because it wears your tires out faster.
...
Its in the manual because the tire companies pay the manual writers to put it in there
...
my 2 cents
^^personally I wouldn't take ANY advice from someone with your automotive "experience" but that's just me. Way to remind me why I'm hardly ever on the forums anymore. It's always the guy who hardly knows what he's doing who has the loudest mouth, then everyone else asks what oil they should use.
