240z gearbox prices

[mattywood]

Hi I am looking for an early 240z box and want to know what I should pay for one. The model I am looking for is a 240z gearbox model # FS5C71A. This is from early 240z and is the same as used in the Fairlady.

$400 for a 2nd hand one requiring new bearings and/or syncro rings.

Thanks. Is that early model box hard to find?

Getting harder now but I've seen a few floating around on Ebay from time to time. You also require a special driveshaft that is unique for this box.

 

Lurch is about right on price and you can't guarantee it will be in good condition although you could get lucky.

Or you can do what I've done and convert the flange output to the later type using the later gear box rear extension housing.....

I got a few of the early 240Z boxes, three are the  standard close ratio,(2.9 first) one is the mid close ratio (2.6 first), and one only ultra close ratio ( 1.8 first), most are set up for older Dato Sports 2000 motor, but can supply bellhousings and extension housings to convert to Z car use.

I'm considering offloading one or two

pretty rare, and these are rebui8lt with new bearings/seals etc from Lou M, but have been in my Dato 2000 race car, so they are "run in" reasonably well!

They are all flanged output type ie 71A
