NorCalDime Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 i dont have time im in a mad rush to get something fixed ASAP!! im in and out of the house and running around to different scrap yards trying to find a trans... so instead of telling me to search (cause i would if i had time) why wouldnt you just post a link or not post... THANKS!!! instead of wasting your time looking for a different trans, and then making it fit by getting a custom adapter plate/swapping parts etc. Why dont you just look for a ka tranny? any ka tranny 89-97 will work.

datzenmike Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Sounds like an FS5W71B type so likely from a Z series engine. Need you to measure the length and a photo would help. Quote Link to comment
Ryan@CiNcity Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks like a short-tail NAPS-Z 71B transmisison from a 720 truck. With a metal band strap for a rear crossmember (scary). Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Yup. Bet it doesn't have a speedometer hook up too. Does it? They are truly a short tail at 26.3" long. I posted this on The Realm too: FS5W71B type from a 720 truck. The picture doesn't show it, but I would expect that it does not have a speedometer drive in the tail stock. I know that these short ones were used in the King Cab and long wheelbase trucks but have only seen (I have one) them in 4X4 trucks... thus the missing speedo drive in the tailstock. The 2wd King Cab and long wheelbase trucks may use the short transmission, and if so, would also have the speedo drive in them. As for the years?... again I've only seen '84 and up 720 trucks with the Z24 motor have them, there could be other years. Look for it to be 26.3" long. All others are 31.5" long and won't fit without shortening the driveshaft and maybe moving the rear tranny mount back. Sorry I can't help you more, I wish I knew more about them. mike Edited September 4, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I once though the short ones were 4X4... then spent 2 hours trying to get a 5-speed out of an '85 2WD in a junkyard only to realize it was a shorty. My '83 720/Z24 has a longtail, and I've replaced it with one from another 720 (but don't know the year). My 720 is a KC and the one I got the tranny from was a KC, the shorttail was in a SWB truck.

datzenmike Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) You know Doug I've asked for responses from other 720 forums as to what length tranny is in their trucks. Just when I think I have an idea someone replies with an exception. I have a long Z tranny in my 620 so I use the short 10? inch primary d/s to the trans case but I did once have the long 14" shaft that would allow the shorty to fit. Maybe Nissan used whatever and just used the matching d/s? Edited September 4, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
