Both vehicles are 5 speeds. My transmission has a tendancy to get stuck in a gear (the stick pops out of gear, but it's still engaged!), and the syncros are going (IPO used GL5 fluid.)
I know a mechanic who'll give me a good deal on rebuilding the trans, if I find/provide the rebuild kit. I'm sure if I brought him both transmissions he could play mix and match, if it's possible with these two transmissions.
Complicating matters, the previous owner swapped the trans with one from a diesel datsun car, I guess it had gone bad too. Dont know what model. Where can I find a model# on the transmission? Preferably without removing it...

Thanks for the info!
