The 2005+ Nissan Frontier 6-Speed Manual Transmission shares its architecture with the robust Nissan 350Z CD009 transmission (The 350Z transmissions have been proven to hold 700+HP). However, the Frontier version is in a case that makes it much better for swaps into classic muscle cars and trucks. Why? Because it has a top-mounted shifter instead of a remote shifter, and a bellhousing large enough to accept a clutch and flywheel assembly that is the same size as a stock LSx application. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LOJ Conversions Gen III\/IV Small Block Chevy (LTx) to Nissan VQ40DE (2005-2015 Xterra \/ Frontier) Manual Transmission Adapter is the first of its kind produced for the LS Swapping community. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.2L LT1 (2014+ Corvette, 2016+ Camaro)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.2L LT4, (2015+ Corvette Z06, 2016+ CTSV, 2017+ Camaro ZL1)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.2L L86\/L87 (2014+ Silverado\/Sierra, Yukon, Escalade)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.2L LT5 (2019+ Corvette ZR1)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e5.3L L82\/L83\/L84\/L8B (2014+ Silverado\/Sierra, Tahoe\/Yukon, Suburban\/Yukon XL)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.3L LV3 (2014+ Silverado\/Sierra V6)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Transmission Adapter Plate fabricated from USA Sourced Metallurgically Certified Heat Treated Aluminum.
