datsunlover Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think I 'had' one a few years back I boght from a guy who was spliting up with his wife. (messy) He was selling off evrything dirt cheep.. The tranny was suposed to go in his blown big block 442, which was sitting in the shop at the time.. (reeeeealy cool tubbed drag car!) Fully rebiult, supposedly a very tough tranny.. I paid $250 for it, but ended up using an auto.. sold the standard a few months later for $600!!! They are heavy for a little tranny, but still lighter than and auto I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Maybe that's what mine is, does this sound like a T-50? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=87992 We also tossed around this '70's 5 speed thread.... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=71619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
