Breeze77z Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 the transmission in my '77 280z is shot, and i found a '81 280zx 5 speed in a local salvage yard, and i just want to make sure that it is compatible. he wants $150, which sounds good to me, but let me know if i'm getting taken . thanks, a lot.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 That's a decent price, and it will bolt right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Just be aware that your car has the A model 5 speed now and the 81 is the B model. Lot less first gear multiplication but more overdrive. Maybe he'll throw in the 3.90 diff with purchase of tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeze77z Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 HA, i wish. So my car won't get off the line as quick, but shouldn't be doing 3000rpm at 70mph on the highway? hmmmm...i don't mind either right now, but the clunk during shifting and 1/4-1/2" play in the back end of the transmission i have now is no good. need to ask him how much for a chevy and transmission , and then some how come up with the cash Thanks for the help.
