zhopeful Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 my current car is a '72 240z, with the 4 speed manual. The other day i stumbled upon an ad for a used '85 Z31 5 speed tranny, just the tranny, not the whole engine. I would love to get a 5 speed in my car, but was wondering if it was feasible to mate the Z31 tranny with an L24 engine, any thoughts?

RB26powered74zcar Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 You will need a 70-83 trans to bolt up to you L6 motor, unless you have a adapter plate made. If you are going to go through the adapter method, I'd go with the Z32 5 spd swap. The parts are avail (look in the drive train section for kits for sale) to mate that trans with a adapter plate. Your best bet would be to just find a 280z/280zx 5 spd, that way its a direct bolt on w/o the use of a adapter plate, and they are very common trans.
