giorgio61 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 My son bought us a 5sp for our project 240, today after due cleaning I pulled the speedo cog to make sure it matches my diff, well it had a 4.11 ratio cog (red). I have no idea what car it this box came from or what the gear ratios are perhaps a late 200sx? but then the case looks early 5sp (wide ratio). Suggestions anyone on how to ID it? Also I noticed it has 3 different switches on one side, I pretty sure one is for the backup lights, one probably a neutral safety and the other? I'll get a pic tomorrow maybe that will help.

Xnke Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Measure carefully, and take a look at the shifter. The 200SX transmissions are FS5W71C transmissions, starting in 1984. The shifter is much different, and starting in 1986.5, the syncros got upgraded. Dimensionally, the trans will fit, but measure the overall length carefully. for the FS5W71C trans, you'll need to move the transmission mount back 2", but you MAY or MAY NOT have to have a shorter driveshaft. SOME (1987 NON-Turbo with CA20e motors) are usable with a stock length driveshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio61 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks Xnke, it doesnt seem longer to me but I will measure it today. I dont want to go thru the trouble of modifying anything (my son need the car for college!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
