heavy85 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Well, I've got a 240Z comp 5 speed that's now in pieces. I think it's a late 240Z type with the three piece case and phillips head bolts holding the sandwhich plate on. I found several teeth broken off all synchros and reverse gears are chewed up. Otherwise it looks perfect - all other gears and the bearings are fine. Now to put it all back together but I can't find parts? I called local tranny shops and they asked what year it came out of I tried to explain Porsche synchros, competition box, year unknown ......... silence. Consider I live in central Illinois so finding someone who knows anything about either Porsches (sp?) or Datsuns is not exactly easy. Anyone know where I can source parts or maybe part numbers so at least I know what to ask for? Any tips from those who've been there would also be helpful. At this point I have the Haynes manual to go by but I'm sure there are better sources if I could just find them. Thanks Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Take all the measurements you can (diameter of the syncro ring, width of the ring, thickness of the ring) then call a Porsche specialist or a German parts house. They should be able to measure one on their end and figure out which ones you need. IIRC they were out of the 915 transmission from the early 911's, and 1st thru 4th were all the same, 5th was smaller, just like the Porsche.
