I have found a 6 speed from a 2012 hatchback will it mate to the engine? Is this posable ? I have a 2012 1.6 s

Are you talking transmission or shifter? If shifter then no, it is not that easy.

Shouldn't be hard. Might need a custom mount and 6spd tranny cables along with the shifter itself but shouldn't be harder than an auto-to-manual swap(did it in my old car). I'm actually glad you posted this because this is on my to-do list. Was it hard to find the tranny?

 

[Redwizrd]

Yes the acuall 6 speed tranny. I wonder if ill need the whole couch assemble also from the hatchback.

 

[JoshG]

The pedal should be fine but you'll probably need the clutch itself.

I wouldn't put a couch on my hatchback.

I have the 6 speed in my 2009 sedan. If you are looking for a 6th gear for overdrive this transmission will not give it to you. Compare the final ratio of both transmissions. Typical shifting is 1-2-4-6 and I wish my 6th gear was a REAL overdrive.

Should have just bought a versa with a 6 speed.

1.6 is better on gas.

I have a 1.6 S in manual (5spd) too. I've been noticing a little more power when I turn OFF the traction control. Technically, is it making a difference?

I've got to say, for a small engine, it doesn't disappoint.

Have you ever driven a 6 speed versa? It's isn't any better than a 5 speed. There is no true overdrive with the 6 speed and I wouldn't be surprised if your mileage went down.

 

[Hschlick84]

You should of bought a 6 speed Versa instead, save yourself the hassle and work.

not to rain on your project but ^^ i agree both

I've been thinking about this too! Glad you asked. Not to thread jack, but what do you guys think about swapping a 350z transmission to the Versa?

I'm hoping this is a bad joke.

It's too much work to be done, don't even bother asking anymore. Just buy a 350z, much easier.

This is like asking somebody if a wooden ball can bounce on concrete.

They just think it's too much work and money to even try. Plus a lot of time. But hey it's your car man. Do what you want!

I agree they shouldn't hate, but I mean I think they're just trying to warn you.

I don't own a Mazda but......you just asked if a direct drive REAR WHEEL DRIVE Z transmission would fit in a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Versa, and you were serious.

Then you call people a hater? They are trying to help you.
