Guest Anonymous Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 well, since my tranny is going out on my 79 280ZX i have decided to just put a new tranny in it. my big question now is what tranny will bolt right up and will handle about 250 hp/tq with no problems? the clutch will be changed out as well. i thought about getting it rebuilt, but i have gotten burned 3 times from local shops doing rebuilds on my previous vehicles. is there a reliable rebuilder in the D/FW area?

randy 77zt Posted February 3, 2001 Share Posted February 3, 2001 any 75 up z trans will fit but best trans is a 82 or 83 non-turbo.most used trans will have counter shaft bearing problems.i build my z trannys myself.find a good stick trans shop and carry your trans in .if you get a used trans check drain plug-it has a magnet on it.if trans howls in evry gear except 4th it has bearing problems.leaks are usually at speedo drive-there are seals that should be replaced in the drive unit.trans is easy to work on if you have any manual trans experience.
