ZZFOOTE Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am doing some final restoration work on my 1970 240Z and have been considering swapping out the original 4-Speed Tranny for a 1973 240Z 4-Speed because I've heard that the 73' is a superior unit. I have 2 questions (1) what are the differences in the two units - is the 73' a superior tranny and why? and (2), the 73 unit marked only with an "L4" and bellhouse # 7609776, seems to have a shift stick mount about 2.5" to 3" further back than the original 70' tranny even though the overall length of the 2 tranys are identical. I've been told that the later model transmissions of the 240Z models just "bolt right up" but would like to have this verified and have a solution or answer for the discrepancy in the 2.5" to 3" rearward placement of the shift stick. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZFOOTE Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Your questions will be better answered here www.classiczcars.com Thanks - looks like I've got some studying to do. Does MSA still sell a shifter kit do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 A shifter kit? As in short shifter kit for the S30s? Not that I am aware of anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
