Thanks.

I am swapping out my 1970 Series 1 4-speed transmission with a 73' 240Z 4-speed. I want to drain the transmission fluid and replace it with correct spec fluid for the 73' year. Can anyone advise what the factory spec transmission fluid is for the 73? Thanks.

Thanks - looks like I've got some studying to do. Does MSA still sell a shifter kit do you know?

I am doing some final restoration work on my 1970 240Z and have been considering swapping out the original 4-Speed Tranny for a 1973 240Z 4-Speed because I've heard that the 73' is a superior unit. I have 2 questions (1) what are the differences in the two units - is the 73' a superior tranny and why? and (2), the 73 unit marked only with an "L4" and bellhouse # 7609776, seems to have a shift stick mount about 2.5" to 3" further back than the original 70' tranny even though the overall length of the 2 tranys are identical. I've been told that the later model transmissions of the 240Z models just "bolt right up" but would like to have this verified and have a solution or answer for the discrepancy in the 2.5" to 3" rearward placement of the shift stick. Thanks for any help.
