AkumaNoZeta Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've been searching all around for rebuild kits for the FS5W71A. I have a used 77' five speed in my 260Z but 5th doesn't work at all and when I look at all the different sites with rebuild kits they either don't say whats in the kit or have a special note in the description saying "5th synchro ring is a black fiber ring (crush style) not available in kit." So what can be done? I really don't want another un-rebuilt transmission and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on it since I plan on doing an engine swap in the future but I want to keep running the L28 while I rebuild a second engine on the side.

beermanpete Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 My experience of the "rebuild kit" for my 4-speed was that it came with some of the bearings and some of the gaskets and seals necessary to do a complete overhaul. I bought the rebuild kit with syncro rings from drivetrain.com. I had to buy additional parts from a dealer (factorynissanparts.com) to obtain all the parts I felt I needed. You should probably open your transmission to see what is acutally worn out. If the gears are bad it is likely easier and cheaper to buy a second transmission for parts rather than buying new gears from the dealer or a third party.
