GM LS to Nissan EA200 "CD Truck" Transmission Adapter Kit

LS to CD Truck EA200 Transmission Adapter Kit

Complete LS to EA200 CD Truck Transmission Adapter Kit

The LS to CD Truck EA200 transmission adapter kit is the core solution for adapting a Nissan EA200 6-speed transmission to a GM LS engine. Designed around the rugged manual transmission found in 2005–2019 V6 Frontier and 2005–2015 V6 Xterra platforms, this precision-engineered kit includes the essential alignment and mating components required for a clean, reliable, and cost-effective manual transmission swap.

Combining the legendary strength of the CD transmission family with a more favorable truck-centric shifter position, this adapter kit is ideal for truck builds, older American cars, and custom performance applications that benefit from improved drivetrain ergonomics without the need for an expensive custom gearbox.
