reverendzed Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hey guys....well I am about to take a step up in the manual conversion process, but before I do I wondered if anyone has an idea if the box I currently have is a standard 260z 5 speed? I pulled it from my 260z donor car but it had had other mods and I wondered if this was one. I have included some pics which have some numbers on it (#8-7-2), I would like to know so that I can buy some new parts like clutch and flywheels etc. I consulted my Zed bible but couldn't find any enlightenment, help if you can.

pauly_adams Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 by the look of things you have a 5speed gbox from a datsun 260z 2+2 cause the same 1 is in both my 77 260z 2+2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDropbear Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yeah, I'd agree, that's a 5 speed gearbox. Good luck with the conversion mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Select 1st gear Mark the 12 o'clock posi on the input shaft and output shaft, Get a mate to tell you or pay close attention to when the output shaft has turned one full turn, as you count how many times you have turned the input shaft - should be less then 3 full turns (2.9) if its a 260 box. Much nicer ratio than the 280zx boxes which are floating around everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
