Back from the dead! I figured that this would be better than making a new thread, since I'm going to be doing something similar. I have a 77 280Z with the original 4-speed MT. The previous owner swapped on a 5-speed rear end, for reasons already mentioned in this thread. However, I've decided to swap on a 280ZX 5-speed. A couple of questions, though:
1. Someone mentioned making sure to pull the speedo cable, and I was wondering if this is still applicable since I already have a 5-speed rear end (for purposes of speedometer accuracy) or if it is still just as relevant for that accuracy irregardless of the rear end I am using.
2. Someone brought up two connections present for the 4-speed manual for sensors, has anyone figured out how the single sensor on 280ZX transmissions relates so it can be hooked up properly? I'd hate to have the transmission installed and have the reverse lights come on in neutral, or not at all.
