Dat Lurka

Looking for answers. Alternative is swapping 5 speed from other truck.

Hey guys. My new 620 has a 5 speed from a Z and it's pretty freakin rough. It's very hard to shift and makes plenty of noise. I believe it's dry as a bone and I'm about to go outside and fill her up. Could being dry cause it to kick out of 5th when accelerating? If not, is it most likely a loose mainshaft nut? It is damn near impossible to shift into 1st or reverse. Or would it be bent shift fork? Should I drop it and tighten the mainshaft nut rather than filling it up?

Drove the truck for work today. Need a carrier bearing ASAP. Anyone know where the best deal on bearing and boot is? Trans feels like crap. Going to go out and see how many quarts of fluid it will take.

New ride

Rockauto.com Best datto part source. Be prepared to dish out the big bucks. They're about 5$. I called advance the other night and they had Beck Arnley reman ones for only 37$

Thanks, sweet it is. This is my temp sender.... It doesn't work.. Temporary floorboard. Someone please explain this to me. I heard it was part of the deluxe options. I guess to protect the paint from key scratches? Is it supposed to be textured that way? For finding the keyhole when you're drunk? I've had much much worse. Rear window screen. I'm going to put it up when I get the chance. All the goodies from behind the seat. Never seen a padded jockey box cover..

did you check the ballast resistor?

She made a 60 miles interstate trip back to home. L20b with a Z 5 speed. Was told engine was rebuilt 2 years ago. No receipts or books or anything. It looks and runs like a recently rebuilt engine. The cam and cam towers are clean as a whistle. No oil blowing out the exhaust. Carburetor functions as one should. She is mostly complete and original. A lot of options I've been wanting are on this truck. Sliding rear window, chrome rain guards, large door mirrors, possibly working A/C, Datsun mudflaps, and cool factory wheels. The A/C components are all there. The compressor turns easily and I was told the belt was removed because the condenser leaks. The Carrier bearing and housing are nonexistent. The passenger floorboard has also disappeared. Transmission feels dry and It pops out of 5th when accelerating. Driver door lower hinge needs to be welded. Hard to open it from the outside. I believe I can get everything taken care of within the month. Hopefully she will be with me for a long time. I'm a little emotional right now. ~ The Pics ~ Seats are comfortable and functional. Looking into reupholstering them. the rust must be killed but the patina is going to be maintained, Solid under the bedcover. Stereo and equalizer work fine and will probably stay right where they are. I'll probably hide a nice stereo with a card reader somewhere. It's got the jockey box. Vent pull is disconnected but doesn't appear to be broken. The mess was free. Factory mags? Nissan locking lugnuts Quick vid

We need the boots with the fur.

I just bought a kc today with a square foot of floorboard missing.

Do it

Rust-Over converter works good and stick good. Easy to paint over too.

Some doctors say there's three of me.

"Upgrading" is just buying another datto with less miles.

Maybe I growed up a bit.

Yep, going to get it today if I can bum a little cash for gas. Owner just called me to make sure I'm getting it cause some Georgia boy is trying to buy it out from under me. It's outside of my Datto budget but hopefully it will be worth it.

Awesome! A lot better than a stock one...
