5 speed transmission questions

Hello, I am a longtime Nissan guy, owned many 240,260,280 z's, but this newer 240sx is a new learning experience. I realiize that many parts interchange in these cars with the newer 300z's but I have a left-over 5 speed from a 93 or 94 300Z, and wondered if it is the same as the ones used in the 240sx. I have asked around, but have not gotten a straight answer. It looks like a very beefy transmission, and if I can use it in a auto to stick swap, I sure would like to know if it can be done.
Also, I am told that spun bearings are common for 240sx's. Any truth to that?

Direct bolt-on no. But the do make Z32 Trans swap kits that allows you to bolt it on using adapter plates custom D/S etc.
Mazworx makes good quality Z32 Trans kits. As well as Xcessive.

The 6spd Z32 was kind of Rare to my understanding so I'm not to sure. But considering the trans has to hold a car that both makes more power and weights more I don't see why Nissan would put a weaker trans...
