HowlerMonkey Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Title says it all. I need a FS5W71B transmission (and the clutch fork) for local pickup. I'm willing to drive from key west to orlando but I am in west palm beach. Condition needs either to be daily driver working (ok with 1st to 2nd grind) or rebuildable but with undamaged gearset. PM or e.mail response ok. sparkus@att.blackberry.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just as an FYI for those trying to help. Datsun/Nissan made several 4 and 5-speed manual transmissions available in the second generation Z car or S130. The 1981-1983 FS5W71B is a "close ratio" five speed transmission where the FS5R90A 5-speed transmission found in the 1983 280zx turbo is a "wide ratio" transmission. Close ratio transmissons are preferred for road racing as they allow the driver to maintain a tighter rev range between gears compared to wide ratio versions. http://www.xenons130.com/Transmissions.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I already have a FS5R30 with Austin Hoke's L28 adaptor for the current L28ET engine. I have no use for a 4 speed because I need the overdrive ratio of 5th gear as this is for a LD28 diesel with turbo and I need the overdrive. I'm expanding this search to include a Z31 turbo automatic or 1984 nissan maxima either of E4n71b or L4n71b in rebuildable condition.

HowlerMonkey Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've acquired the 5-speed but may be interested in a rebuildable 4n71b from a 300zx turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
