240z71 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Hey Guys Im putting the FS5C71A gearbox also know as the early flange gearbox out of my 240z up for sale. I dont need it for the application im using the car in and will instead run a later silvia box so this box is without a use. It came out of my Z which had been in storage for a long time so it hasnt done much work. I drove the car and the gearbox drives really good and the gears them selves feel tight. The only thing that needs doing is the pins on the stick assembly need welding back up as they wear away over time. From what ive been told this job is very common for these gearboxes and anyone that knows there way around these boxes should be able to do it. Its not a big job as there easily accessable from the outside of the gearbox. I assume if youre interested in this box i dont need to mention it but these have really desirable ratios and are becoming quite rare now. Also comes with the tailshaft to suit and i can have the gearbox dropped to you if you live in Melbourne. Any questions feel free to ask Price is $800 Thanks Matt gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 28, 2016 Administrators Posted February 28, 2016 Nice I am thinking I'll run 1 of these in HS30 00150 now, but I'm looking for 1 I'll totally rebuild and go through from scratch. Sent you a PM anyway. Good luck with the sale. Quote
alanwil Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 The slop in the monkey motion shift mechanism is quite common. The pins and springs need replacing, but usually where the springs hit under the shift plate gets worn and needs rebuilding and refacing. The shift rod (looks like a golf putter) hole will need redoing with a new pin. All of the small amounts of play add up. I had all of this done by a guy in Melbourne - back to brand new feel for around $280. gav240z 1 Quote

The Datsun Sports 2000 ses the same bx, the guy in Melbourne we all se to rebuild the shfter, and ther stuff, s, Lou Mondello in Moorabbin Yes lou Mondello seems to be the go to man for these gearboxes and im sure would be able to do the fix on the pins and springs slop in the mechanism. Maybe some of the roadster crew would be interested in the box? Could try advertising it to that crew if i have no luck here Quote
dat2kman Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 For a 240Z box to be converted to suit the SR311 Datsun Roadster, you require a U series bellhousing, a shorter main output shaft, and a shorter extension housing. I have these available for sale Quote
