Just wondering if anybody has attempted a manual swap and the micra. I have a 2017 automatic and I can feel the CVT starting to go. Just wondering if anybody has attempted a swap on this car as I have not been able to find anything.

Micra doesn't have a CVT! (In Canada)
It's a traditional 4-speed auto torque converter/slushbox. I don't recall hearing of any transmission failures. CVT's definitely don't have as good a reliability record as old school slushboxes.
I don't know of anyone who's done a swap, but the parts should be easy enough to find - buy a wrecked 5-speed.
You'd probably have to swap the ECU/PCM as well, though, and I"m not sure how well that would go (security key, digitial odometer, etc.)
Know what would be easier/cheeaper? If your transmission is actually going, it'd probably be less trouble to just repair/replace it, sell your car, and then buy a manual Micra.

How many Km’s? Still under powertrain warranty?
Don't forget the shifter linkage, shifter itself, and clutch system. Sure do miss the old days where it would be a straight swap.

That would be insanity to try that swap...no offense
2015 Micra S (manual)
no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
Feb 2015 build
9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!
I know of people who've done it in a Firefly/Metro back in the day. Not a small job, that's for sure.

I did tyranny and motors swaps on the Volkwagen MK2s, MK3s diesels. I'm not saying its easy for everyone but fairly easy and time consumming. Very straight forward and everything just fitted with one another (Jettas and Golfs)
