wildy55 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Hi all Looking for a 5-sp to replace my '72 240z's auto. Can someone tell me if this will fit? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320710751731&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1156 Doesn't say if it's for a 4- or 6-cyl. Cheers Quote
Patch Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 More info here, pretty sure all L either 4 or 6 have the same bolt pattern. Looks like it comes from a skyline. Unsure if it will work. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Stumpy Quote

1600dave Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Nope, no good for a zed. The seller's referral to it as a "stumpy" box and the smooth casing would indicate it is a stanza dogleg 5 speed, in which case it is a lighter duty box (type 63 rather than type 71, type 63 were only ever fitted to 4-cylinders) and is too short.

wildy55 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Cheers guys Have saved myself buying an odd-looking garden gnome! Quote
chris240 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 although this wont work with a zed, they where a bloody great gearbox...I had one in my daddo in the 80's Quote
1600dave Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Yep, I've had the same box but in the longer version (out of a 180B SSS) in my 1600 for close to 20 years. Performed faultlessly all that time, till it got stuck in third at LapZ at the Lake the other weekend :-\ Quote
