Twizted Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 The L6 ones, yes. Not sure about the V6's tho, never needed to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Datsun Z 1977-83 810/Maxima 1977-84 trucks 1977-80 The 1977-78 200SX 5-speed as rare as it is will not work right. It is about 2 inches shorter and a much weaker transmission. (dog leg 5-speed) However, if you find one get it and sell it to 510 guys for big bucks. The 5-speed was introduced in 1977 so older cars might have one but you'll have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 with a little modification a 5-speed from any model 240sx will fit. . . and now with an adaptor you can slap on a z32 300zx 5-speed. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoc Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ah, this was a question I had So this means I can take the transmission off the 78 2+2 parts car and put it on the 83 l28et motor, to put in the 73 240 The parts car gets better each day as a deal!

What type of mods are required? are they required to attach it to the engine or install in the car. the reason I ask is this combo wil be going inot a model A ford, not a Z.

Chewievette Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 the reason I ask is this combo wil be going inot a model A ford, not a Z. I like where your going with this! I was planning to build a rod with my 280zx engine but I stumbled upon a cheap 240z before I started building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search for "KA tranny" and you will find tons there and a respective search for "Z32 tranny" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
