riverz Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am thinking about buying a 82 king cab 2wd really cheap but it needs a trans it will not go into 5 or reverse. Does anybody know what years will bolt up. Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue72 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Four cylinder is a given with the trucks. Is it an '82 720 pickup with a Z22E engine? I personally haven't researched the truck transmissions yet. You might have more luck on ratsun.com They have a whole section dedicated to the trucks (620, 720, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The 1982-86 transmissions will interchange. Just measure the tailstock extension on your present transmission and make sure it matches the replacement. Your existing tailstock should be 16.0 inches but there was also a version that measured 16.75 inches (usually rounded up to 17 inches). You said the truck was a 4x2 and I don’t think a 4x4 transmission will work (I don't remember why). Good luck... The 5-speed transmissions on the 720 Nissan trucks was always a problem area. The junkyard trannys will need to be disassembled for inspection and may even need a re-build (new bearings). I had a 1983 5-speed that I drove for 250K+ miles. Good little truck, but I had to re-build the tranny twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverz Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I got the transmission apart and the shift fork for fith and reverse is bad. Every thing else looks good just need to find a new fork. Still can't beat it for 200 and very little rust only whole in the truck is in the bed where it got wrecked.
